00:00:05
100 push-ups, 100 squats, 100 sit-ups,
00:00:08
and a 10 km run every day. That's what
00:00:10
it
00:00:12
takes. Throughout the anime, Junu levels
00:00:14
up to an inspiring physique due to the
00:00:16
mandatory daily quest he's given by the
00:00:18
system, a workout he does every day,
00:00:20
which consists of a One Punch Man
00:00:22
inspired routine. These are the rules.
00:00:24
doing this routine, but I added an extra
00:00:26
twist of 50 pull-ups to make it harder
00:00:28
and to also balance the upper body
00:00:30
training. We're doing a rest day every
00:00:31
other day because in the show, the
00:00:33
system grants Junu a free full recovery
00:00:35
heel every time he does a workout. Dude,
00:00:38
I'm so cooked. And lastly, the penalty
00:00:40
quest. If you don't do the routine in a
00:00:42
workout day, you'll be forced to run for
00:00:45
4 hours straight. Yeah, 4 hours. Good
00:00:47
luck surviving that. Now, taking a look
00:00:49
at me, I used to be in decent shape, but
00:00:51
I've now been out of shape for months,
00:00:53
skipping all my workouts. I'm hoping
00:00:54
that throwing myself into hell could be
00:00:56
the key to my fitness comeback. After 30
00:00:58
days, this is what
00:01:02
happened. Day one was
00:01:08
horrible. I jumped head first into a max
00:01:10
set of push-ups, burning out at 25,
00:01:13
which was actually horrible compared to
00:01:15
what I've done on this channel before.
00:01:17
This made me very sad. Guys, I'm so
00:01:19
disappointed with myself. This is a
00:01:21
devastating blow. I'm uh out of
00:01:32
shape. This is the saddest day of my
00:01:35
life. Yeah, that took about 12 minutes
00:01:38
to do for 100 push-ups, which is I'm
00:01:40
kind of ashamed of. So, I really thought
00:01:41
the sit-ups were going to be easier, but
00:01:43
they weren't. I'm stupid. This [ __ ] was
00:01:45
still hard. And for the last few reps, I
00:01:46
felt like I was just cheating using
00:01:49
momentum. Luckily, the squats weren't so
00:01:51
bad. I felt like I could push through
00:01:52
the pain whenever I was tired instead of
00:01:54
just falling due to muscular failure.
00:01:56
But doing this made me feel like
00:01:57
throwing up. I'm so out of breath. My
00:02:00
head feels kind of fuzzy, a little
00:02:01
fuzzy. I don't want to get up. I didn't
00:02:04
want to do 50
00:02:05
pull-ups. After five reps, I felt
00:02:08
depressed. Being so tired already, these
00:02:10
were really hard. But after 15 minutes
00:02:12
and a visit from the cops, the 50 were
00:02:15
done. But now the absolute worst part of
00:02:17
the workout was next on the horizon. I
00:02:19
don't know if I can do it. I don't know
00:02:20
if I can run 10 km. Honestly scared for
00:02:23
just going to like collapse mid run and
00:02:25
not be able to walk myself back
00:02:27
home. I honestly don't know if I'm going
00:02:29
to make it, but I'm sure as hell going
00:02:30
to start. Here I
00:02:33
go. I've run like one block and I'm
00:02:36
already stopping to walk. Every step
00:02:38
just feels so heavy. And they have
00:02:40
plans. Tomorrow I'll be limping around
00:02:42
the pool party.
00:02:44
Maybe we're okay.
00:02:49
My stomach's burning. My legs are
00:02:50
burning. It's so hard to jog for longer
00:02:52
than like a minute. I think I'm going to
00:02:54
have to walk like half of this cuz I'm
00:02:56
just so so I'm so worn down
00:03:01
[Music]
00:03:07
already. Halfway through right now and
00:03:10
I'm really starting to crash out. I
00:03:12
brought an energy drink. I don't know.
00:03:14
It probably won't do much, but if I
00:03:16
really need to, I'll just keep walking.
00:03:17
But I think I could jog a bit more. Holy
00:03:20
[ __ ]
00:03:28
I have 2 miles left to go and it's just
00:03:31
I can't even jog for more than like 20
00:03:33
seconds without having to stop. It's
00:03:34
just so bad. My legs just hurt. There's
00:03:37
a lot of cramps. If I wasn't doing this
00:03:39
challenge, I would have stopped a long
00:03:41
time ago.
00:03:44
But but I have to keep going cuz I
00:03:47
haven't I haven't worked out in forever.
00:03:50
I haven't made a video in forever. And I
00:03:52
can't fail both of these things at the
00:03:55
same time of giving up right now. I just
00:03:57
I got to keep going.
00:04:05
I just realized I got a mile left to go.
00:04:07
So, I just felt like a surge of energy
00:04:09
come to me because like I just got to
00:04:10
push through and we're going to get this
00:04:17
done. I finally did it. I finally
00:04:20
freaking did it. 6.2
00:04:23
mi, 10 km. We did it and everything
00:04:27
works. But I'm so [ __ ] happy.
00:04:33
There was one positive thing to look
00:04:34
forward to because in the show the
00:04:36
system grants Jinu a reward after every
00:04:38
workout done. So I made myself an at
00:04:40
home coffee frappuccino ice cream thing
00:04:42
and it was delicious. So obviously I was
00:04:43
a happy man being done on my first 10 km
00:04:46
run in my life. But this time was
00:04:48
unimpressively slow. It took 2 hours.
00:04:50
But what I want you guys to know is that
00:04:52
for this challenge I really wanted to
00:04:53
embrace the idea of leveling up. And
00:04:55
since I've been active in the past, I
00:04:56
knew I could really crush these starting
00:04:58
numbers if I really pushed myself. I
00:05:00
wanted my 10 km run to be under one
00:05:02
hour. And for my strength, I wanted the
00:05:04
100 push-ups to be done under five
00:05:05
minutes. Just like Junu, I want to feel
00:05:07
my strength and agility stats go crazy.
00:05:09
But for now, I had a full recovery day
00:05:11
to relax
00:05:14
in.
00:05:16
No. Feel like I'm fighting to stay
00:05:18
alive, dude. I'm so cooked. I don't know
00:05:20
how I'm going to run like this. Just
00:05:22
getting out of bed is a struggle. Took a
00:05:24
whole day to rest and I'm still not
00:05:26
resting. No, please. Please just let it
00:05:38
[Music]
00:05:47
end. Everything aches so much. My back,
00:05:50
my legs, my feet. Too rough. But here we
00:05:54
are. I'm almost there.
00:05:58
[Music]
00:06:11
[Music]
00:06:13
Yes, I got 7 minutes and 40 seconds on
00:06:16
100 push-ups this time. That's way
00:06:17
better than the last two
00:06:19
attempts. Yes, 7 minutes and 2 seconds
00:06:23
on the sit-ups. My body is just adapting
00:06:25
so quick to this workout routine. Hell
00:06:27
yeah, guys. I'm so happy cuz my time was
00:06:30
1 hour and 22 minutes this time. I'm
00:06:32
already doing that much better. I just
00:06:34
can't imagine like how good I can get
00:06:36
this time down. Like, I'm so proud and
00:06:38
happy with
00:06:39
that. Can you help me do these push-ups?
00:06:42
That'd be really helpful right
00:06:43
now. Made a big mistake, y'all. I failed
00:06:47
yesterday's workout. I had plans with my
00:06:49
girlfriend and I got home at like 1:00
00:06:53
a.m. This [ __ ] was
00:06:58
awful. I hate this so much. The last
00:07:02
thing I wanted to do was to run for 4
00:07:04
hours straight, but I had to give myself
00:07:05
some kind of consequence for failing and
00:07:07
to keep things accurate to the show. So,
00:07:09
I set a 4-hour timer in my running app
00:07:11
with a feature where it would only tick
00:07:13
down if I was in motion. So, every time
00:07:14
I stopped moving forward, the timer
00:07:16
would pause. And with these parameters
00:07:18
in place, I was on a painful journey.
00:07:20
The hardest run of my life so far. I'm
00:07:23
already suffering. It's only like 20
00:07:25
minutes
00:07:26
in. I just got those 10 km done already.
00:07:30
I'm only an hour and a half in. I feel
00:07:32
horrible. I don't want to do this no
00:07:34
more. But I got I just got to keep
00:07:35
going. It felt just like day one all
00:07:38
over again. But even worse this time.
00:07:41
Everything hurts. My legs are in a lot
00:07:42
of pain. Almost limping at this point.
00:07:44
For a while, I've been walking so slow.
00:07:46
I had actual elderly people pass me. I
00:07:48
just want this to be over,
00:07:51
man. The 4 hours of
00:07:53
agony are over. It feels so
00:07:57
good. I burned 1,200 calories, by the
00:08:00
way. Can you believe that? All right.
00:08:02
Well, I'm going to take a shower. Now,
00:08:04
I'm going to play Fortnite with my
00:08:06
[Music]
00:08:10
girlfriend. 100 push-ups in 6 minutes
00:08:13
and 30 seconds.
00:08:16
[Music]
00:08:18
I'm I'm I'm feeling very concerned today
00:08:20
because my left foot really hurts. With
00:08:23
every step I take, I feel like this
00:08:25
tender pain and like, oh, this is weird.
00:08:28
And the medial part of my foot right
00:08:30
there. I could feel like this weird
00:08:32
squishy feeling. Like the tissues on my
00:08:34
foot just took a huge beating after that
00:08:36
4hour run walking thing. And I took one
00:08:39
rest day. I felt fine. Then I ran 10 km
00:08:42
again and that really messed it up. So,
00:08:44
I'm not sure what to
00:08:46
do. This situation really sucked. But
00:08:49
the challenge had to go on. So, whenever
00:08:51
the pain in my foot acted up, I just had
00:08:53
to skip runs. But on the positive side,
00:08:56
with a good chunk of the challenge done,
00:08:57
my body was finally adapting to this
00:08:59
really intense training. My endurance
00:09:01
skyrocketed. I felt way more energized
00:09:03
throughout the day. I was just less
00:09:05
sluggish. I I felt in way better shape.
00:09:07
My squats were already down to 5
00:09:08
minutes, and I was doing six to seven
00:09:10
reps for each set of pull-ups instead of
00:09:11
doing three. and my push-ups and sit-ups
00:09:13
were inching past a six-minute barrier.
00:09:15
This routine was really becoming part of
00:09:16
my week now. I could still get it done
00:09:18
while visiting my girlfriend at her
00:09:19
place without absolutely dying like I
00:09:21
would have in the past. Don't get me
00:09:23
wrong, I still hated doing these
00:09:25
workouts. Not only were they physically
00:09:26
difficult, but the fear and pressure of
00:09:28
not doing well enough or not progressing
00:09:30
enough would always be creeping in the
00:09:32
back of my mind every time I had to do a
00:09:34
workout. But I knew if I didn't do it at
00:09:36
all, the negative feelings would be way
00:09:38
worse. And the relief that would come
00:09:40
with a completed workout was always so
00:09:42
worth it. So while I hated it, I did it
00:09:50
anyway. I was so proud of myself seeing
00:09:52
my runs inch closer and closer to that 1
00:09:54
hour
00:09:58
mark. My main strategy was just to
00:10:01
reduce the number of walking breaks
00:10:02
after each run. For example, I would
00:10:04
start with doing a walking break after
00:10:06
every half a mile in the beginning, but
00:10:08
then it would go down to after every
00:10:09
miles. And in the end, I was only taking
00:10:11
like two or three walking breaks. So,
00:10:12
while I've never enjoyed running, and
00:10:14
it's always been my weak spot in
00:10:15
fitness, I was experiencing a runner's
00:10:17
high after every brutal 10 km of
00:10:20
jogging. Feeling awesome today. We're
00:10:22
finally back with 10 km runs. I've
00:10:24
accomplished a lot so far with this this
00:10:26
entire solo leveling
00:10:28
challenge. So, if I could get this time
00:10:30
under an hour, I'd be so happy. And with
00:10:33
those last few days of training, my
00:10:34
push-ups were growing closer to that 5
00:10:36
minute mark. And my runs were only
00:10:38
minutes away from my big goal. Yes,
00:10:39
guys, this time I got an hour and 2
00:10:42
minutes and 20 seconds or some [ __ ] on
00:10:43
this run. That is so good. It's so good.
00:10:46
But I hoped that on results today that
00:10:48
the adrenaline and that desire to
00:10:50
achieve these goals was going to push me
00:10:51
to get there. Cuz if I could do that,
00:10:54
then I would know that just like in the
00:10:55
dumb show that I leveled up. Then I
00:10:59
[ __ ] up. So yeah, I was [ __ ] And
00:11:01
what basically happened is that I wanted
00:11:03
someone to help me film on results day
00:11:04
at the time, but that didn't end up
00:11:06
panning out. So, no cameraman. Ended up
00:11:08
asking my girlfriend to help me film
00:11:09
instead, but by that time, it had been
00:11:11
10 days since the challenge ended. 10
00:11:14
days without doing a single push-up,
00:11:15
without running a single mile. At the
00:11:18
time, I felt cooked. I mean, my
00:11:19
endurance felt like it poured down the
00:11:21
drain. I felt sluggish. I was really
00:11:22
worried I was going to be weak on those
00:11:24
push-ups. something. I had basically no
00:11:25
workout for 10 days and I just couldn't
00:11:27
let myself work out between the
00:11:28
challenge ending and results day because
00:11:30
that would defeat like the entire title
00:11:32
of the video. I just had to let this
00:11:34
video stay authentic. It was like this
00:11:35
self-fulfilling prophecy that led me to
00:11:38
this really screwed over spot. But I had
00:11:41
to roll with these punches. It was my
00:11:42
only option. It was now or never. I was
00:11:45
really stressed about how these results
00:11:46
were going to go. And I didn't really
00:11:48
show it in the video cuz I didn't want
00:11:49
to look like a [ __ ] [ __ ] in front of
00:11:50
my girlfriend. But um so what I did was
00:11:54
I started with the push-ups first,
00:11:56
hoping that maybe I could get this goal
00:11:58
done and get myself a confidence boost
00:12:00
to get those 10 km under an
00:12:02
[Music]
00:12:06
hour. I'm so nervous. If I pass this,
00:12:09
that's one of my goals done. Let's get
00:12:12
started.
00:12:25
[Music]
00:12:29
Let me do one more for extra
00:12:35
stupid. Did 100,
00:12:37
guys. So happy. I don't know if you can
00:12:40
see it, but that's 4 minutes and 20
00:12:43
seconds. The whole time that adrenaline
00:12:46
really helped me. Holy [ __ ] This felt
00:12:48
amazing, but I I couldn't really let
00:12:50
myself celebrate because I still had
00:12:52
that 10 km run to take care of. I'm not
00:12:54
going to wear my backpack. While I ran,
00:12:56
I always ran with a backpack with my
00:12:57
water and other other runs. And while it
00:12:59
was only like a couple pounds of water,
00:13:01
hopefully having it off is going to give
00:13:03
me that extra edge to get under an hour.
00:13:05
This time, I have my beautiful
00:13:07
girlfriend watching my water. So, if I
00:13:08
need water, whenever I'm passing by, I
00:13:10
just be like, "Yo, I need some water."
00:13:12
I was legitimately scared that I was not
00:13:14
going to be able to do this in under 1
00:13:16
hour, but I just wanted to get it over
00:13:18
with. So, I
00:13:22
started now. Immediately, I was
00:13:24
struggling to breathe during my usual
00:13:29
pace. After 2 miles, I already had to
00:13:32
walk. During my last run of the
00:13:34
challenge, I only took one walking
00:13:36
break, and that was during the fourth
00:13:37
mile. At the halfway mark, I was
00:13:39
actually minutes off my pace. I wasn't
00:13:41
going to make it. It was looking bad and
00:13:43
I was frustrated. At some point, I face
00:13:45
palmed and I tightened my fist. But when
00:13:47
I lowered my hands, I accidentally
00:13:48
ripped out some of my hair. But I had
00:13:50
been working towards this goal for 30
00:13:51
days. This was the final result of the
00:13:54
challenge. I knew if I could just run
00:13:56
slightly faster from here on out, I
00:13:58
could get ahead of my pace and I could
00:13:59
get this under an hour. So, I thought of
00:14:01
happy places in my head, just ignoring
00:14:03
the pain as much as I could. And I
00:14:05
started imagining moments in my head
00:14:06
over and over of me actually making this
00:14:09
despite all odds. Now it's going to make
00:14:10
it happen.
00:14:21
[Music]
00:14:31
I did it. [ __ ] did
00:14:37
it.
00:14:40
6.23 miles. Cut up 23 minutes and 59
00:14:46
minutes and 17
00:14:51
seconds. Babe, I almost gave up midway.
00:14:55
I'm so like hot right now. My whole body
00:14:57
is burning up. This is the best worst
00:14:59
feeling I've ever had in my life. My
00:15:01
stomach was hurting. It was burning. I
00:15:03
was worried I didn't eat enough. I
00:15:04
worried I was going to pass out. I'm not
00:15:05
even being dramatic. Now I can stop
00:15:07
doing these 10 km runs. I'm still going
00:15:09
to run. But I don't know all about
00:15:10
regular 10 km ones. I was It was
00:15:14
painful. But my intention was is that I
00:15:17
wanted to do this and I knew I was going
00:15:19
to be disappointed in myself and feel
00:15:20
like [ __ ] the whole day if I failed. So,
00:15:22
I took a deep breath and like it hit me
00:15:24
that like, you know, I'm in control of
00:15:25
my own body. Even the [ __ ] it that
00:15:27
feels horrible, I can still control it.
00:15:29
I can choose to keep feeling pain
00:15:31
because I need to to get this done. And
00:15:33
when I heard that stupid app tell me
00:15:35
that that the 10 km were over, I felt I
00:15:37
fell on my knees. I just that was that
00:15:39
was all I had left in the
00:15:42
tank. We [ __ ] did it.
