Or, look within and commit to a personal milestone you never dreamed you’d be able to accomplish – no equipment needed.
From viral TikTok moments to 30-day plans – whatever your preference may be – any of the five experiments below will have you saying, “Challenge accepted.”

The 30-Day, 100-Rep Squat Challenge
Work your way up to 100 squats in one workout with this 30-day challenge.
Before you start sizing up this impressive goal, know that POPSUGAR’s created a manageable trainer-backed schedule to get you – and your glutes – to the finish line.
The routine includes a mix of regular, sumo, and jump squats to be completed almost every day. This combination of squats keeps the workout fun and ensures that you target the many lower-body muscles needed to take on 100 squats in one go.

Push-Up Challenge
Despite how simple they seem, push-ups are no easy feat – especially when you’re tasked with doing 50 at once. That is, unless you’re equipped with POPSUGAR’s 30-day guide.
Through this plan, you’ll build your strength and endurance with less risk of overuse injuries thanks to the five push-up variations included in your training.
Almost every day (with the expectation of a few rests), you’ll be assigned basic push-ups, one-legged push-ups, T push-ups, and diamond push-ups.
Your daily dose of push-ups increases the further you get into your regimen. In no time, accomplishing 50 push-ups in one sitting will have gone from a dream to a reality.
