Do at least one pullup and one pushup every day (theredpill)

"Clammy that's fucking gay I can do at least 10 pullups and 50 pushups."

Cool story, bro. Did you do any today? Yesterday?

If you do them every day, you're all set, you don't need this post.

If you haven't done any since last week, or last month, or last time there was a thread in here about doing them, then listen to this.

The working out might not be as hard as getting yourself to do it every day.

You know what's not hard? Flossing. I fucking hate flossing. It took some effort to get myself to floss every day. Flossing isn't difficult, making yourself floss is. The discipline of doing it every day might be what you actually need to work on.

1 pushup is BS. It's really, really hard to justify not doing even ONE pushup and ONE pullup. Do it literally every day. When you get overwhelmed by how dumb only one of each is, you're free to do more, but you are NEVER allowed to not do at least one.

I'm going to start doing this. Anybody else going to commit to at least ONE pullup and pushup every single day?

Or is that too big of a commitment for you?

There's an anti-procrastinating technique referred to as either the 2, 5, or 10 minute rule.

If there's something that needs to be done, do it for a short but defined amount of time. After the time has passed, if you want to continue, then continue. If you want to quit, then quit.

Need to clean your home? Pick a short amount of time and start. Maybe you'll only tidy up for a few minutes, maybe you'll keep going until you've finished making every room spotless, or maybe you'll stop somewhere in between. The minimum is it's a little tidier. But chances are you'll go well past your time.

Same with the above example of pushups and pullups. Force yourself to do one and you'll probably go until you're played out. And/or do some situps too.

Also, if you do at least some sort of workout at the same time every day, eventually your body will start to ramp up your energy at that time every day in preparation. And you'll start to crave working out.

Good shit, man.

This is about DISCIPLINE building. Do one rep of cleaning, that's good.

I'm going to remember this.
