We saw some rep challenge workouts in our previous article ‘Extreme Fat Burning Workouts,’ and because I know you enjoyed those so much, I decided to give you five more workouts just like it.
A rep challenge workout can be defined as: doing an allotted number of reps as fast as possible, then when doing it again trying to beat your previous time.
The goal of challenger workouts is to push you to beat your previous score each time you do the workout. Crossfit does an incredible job working this into their system, and it has proven to work very well. That is why some of the strongest and best athletes in the world are Crossfitters.
With the rep challenge workouts below, you can expect them to be intense, tiring, and well… challenging! Be sure to choose a workout that fits your own fitness level, and work on building up to doing harder and harder ones over time!
100 rep challenge
You can do a wide variety of 100 rep workouts that will leave you very tired by the end. A few of my favorites are:
- 100 Push-Ups as fast as possible
- 100 Pull-Ups as fast as possible
- 100 Burpees as fast as possible
- 100 Squat Jumps as fast as possible
- 100 Kettlebell Swings as fast as possible
Then you can do a combination of exercises to get your 100 reps. For example:
- 50 Push-Ups, 50 Pull-Ups as fast as possible
- 50 Burpees, 25 Squat Jumps, 25 Push-Ups as fast as possible
- 25 Burpees, 25 Kettlebell Swings, 50 Pull-Ups as fast as possible
Get creative with how you do this.
