Our Seven Day Challenge
How an Anime character can be your secret weapon in getting in shape
One Punch Man (ワンパンマン) is a Japanese anime comic book character created in 2009.
But if you’re thinking of the cute anime characters with huge eyes and a wistful gaze, this ain’t that.
No, this is One Punch Man.
His story: he’s so strong that he can defeat any opponent with one punch.
But how did he become One Punch Man? His quest for becoming the best superhero of all time started out with his “special 100×100 workout.” So simple. So effective.
Just do 100 squats, 100 push ups, and 100 sit ups. And go for a 10K run. Every single day.
Saitama only had one rule: don’t skip breakfast, even if you were just eating a banana.
But the most important thing: he never used the A/C in summer or the heat in the winter. This helped strengthen his mind as he strengthened his body.
With summer around the corner, we think it’s the perfect time for our very own CORE version of the One Punch Man workout challenge — and we’ve made it for EVERYONE!

CORE Tips for your One Punch Man WORKOUT Challenge
What’s in it for you?
Our CORE One Punch Man challenge gives you a well-rounded workout that will kickstart your fitness, and be fun at the same time.
These three simple body-weight exercises focus on building strength in three main areas: upper body, abs, and lower body. And the short run boosts your cardio.
Can’t do 100 of each exercise at one time? No worry! Just break your 100 reps into smaller sets throughout the day. Like 10 sets of 10 pushups, 4 sets of 25 squats, or whatever works for you.
No matter what, you’ll get in better shape by the end of the 7-day challenge!
Exercise Variation Ideas (do 20 of each, or create your own sets)

- Parallel
- Sumo (2nd position turned out)
- Split lunge right leg back
