Just do one push-up.

From my conversation with @kneeovertoesguy. Find our full workout here:

I was overwhelmed by the idea of doing any resistance work because I hate it. Now every morning I do 4-5 pull ups 10 push-ups 30 crunches 10 squats and eight arm curls with free weights. It’s not much but I do it daily and I started with less. Now I can’t imagine not doing them.

Someone should write a book about that! ;)

Most people fail because they aim for perfection. Winners aim for progress.

This applies to most things in life. Start small. Celebrate it. Come back. Do it one morr the next day. 1% better everyday compounds better than 0%

For a long time I added one a day - those numbers grow! 150 isn't that far off. I apply the same ideas to my current difficulties and the long term results are sometimes slow but they come.

Just fixed my pull up bar! Trying to do pull ups whenever i go or leave the kitchen. Lets see if i can keep it up

the dopamine you get from doing one pushup is going to push u to do more.

Or 100

doing 1 push up every morning now.

I ❤️ this advice

Real Talk

It's interesting how there is always a big friction to start. I remember in physics where the static friction > kinetic friction — it gets easier after you start

Each Monday, I set aside 4 hours and bang out all my pushups for the week

A mind that is terrified should not be overwhelmed with huge amount of volume....start small and build big

Love the simple message.

Show up even when you don't want to show up

One pushup 😂

You have to be consistent everyday and after a while you gone see that everything turns to positive

Good start, easy to get hooked with easy, and then want to grow

It’s that compounding effect that @JamesClear talks about in Atomic Habits. Start real small, one push-up that anyone can do, and then 2 then 3….. 🫶🏻 @tferriss

It's all about building that base. All the flashy exercises and interval training are a distraction if you can't be consistent. Start small and do mostly boring stuff. Every day, every week. Don't get hurt. Don't stop.

Love this. The one push-up isn't the goal - it's just low enough that your brain can't talk you out of it. Momentum takes over from there.
