March Challenge-30 Days of 100PU/200PU/300AS/100BU

In October 2019 I completed a 30 day challenge I started which was 100 strict pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 air squats and a 3 mile run everyday. Prior to that I did just the calisthenics movements for all of June 2019 but failed to complete because I hurt my back on the 2nd to last day. The results were pretty good in October, but could have been better had I eaten better and didn’t drink. October is a hard month to give up good food and drinking, especially with LSU rolling like they were. I lost 9lbs however.

On Sunday I started a new challenge. I will be substituting the 3 mile run with 100 burpees a day, something that LSU777 suggested. The goal is to shed body fat and gain speed all around. I will still be trying to run 8-10 miles a week, as I am doing a Spartan super in May.

My workouts have looked like this:

20 rounds of:
5 Pull ups
10 push ups
15 air squats
5 burpees

So far, 3 days in, the workouts have been pretty brutal. They have all taken anywhere between 40-45 min to complete. Adding the burpee is a game changer. My heart rate immediately skyrockets, and it’s hard to catch my breath. Last go round, I could do the calisthenics portion pretty quickly, with very little rest towards the end. It will be interesting to see if my body adapts as well with the added burpee.

I am starting this thread to help keep me accountable and also for anyone who may be interested in doing something like this. I am taking daily pictures and will try to do a better job of a full update at the end. Something I didn’t do a good job of last October. Unless I get hurt, I will finish this one. Starting weight was 193 and hope to get down to at least 182. I am 5' 10" FYI.
