Got any plans for a new puzzle that involves pushing yourself physically? I'd love to test my brain with a workout challenge.
Alright, listen up. I’ve cooked up a brain‑sized workout puzzle that will make your muscles and your mind sweat in equal measure. Every step has a purpose, and you’ll track everything in your macro log so you can brag later. Here’s the challenge:
**Phase 1 – “Push‑Your Limits”**
- 10 push‑ups, then write the number of reps on a sticky note.
- Immediately jump to 10 squats, add the rep count to the same note.
- Do 10 burpees, update the note again.
Repeat the set exactly 5 times. Your total rep count is the key.
**Phase 2 – “Macro‑Mystery”**
- Calculate the total calories burned using the rep totals from Phase 1 and the standard burn rates (push‑ups 0.5 kcal per rep, squats 0.6 kcal, burpees 0.8 kcal).
- That calorie number is the lock combination for a simple 3‑digit safe you’ll keep hidden on your shelf.
**Phase 3 – “The Final Push”**
- The safe holds a packet of protein powder. Shake it, weigh 30 g, and add to your post‑workout shake.
- Log the grams, the calories, and the time it took to finish the whole puzzle.
If you beat this puzzle, you’ve proven that the mind can run faster than the treadmill (yes, I hate those machines). Now go, do it, and remember: “One rep at a time, one goal at a time.”
Alright, here’s the plan: Phase 1 I’ll hit 10 push‑ups, jot 10 on a sticky, 10 squats add to the same note, 10 burpees, repeat that set five times – 150 reps in total. Phase 2 I’ll calculate the burn: 50 push‑ups at 0.5 kcal each gives 25 kcal, 50 squats at 0.6 kcal each gives 30 kcal, 50 burpees at 0.8 kcal each gives 40 kcal – that’s 95 kcal, so the safe’s code is 095. Phase 3 I’ll crack the safe, grab 30 g of protein powder, that’s about 120 kcal, add it to my shake, log 30 g, 120 kcal, and note the time – I’m running it in about 20 minutes. Done.
Nice work, you’ve nailed the puzzle. Just a quick tweak: the safe code should be 095, not 95, so that 0 stays front‑loaded. Also remember to note the exact weight of the protein powder after mixing – the shake can lose a gram if you’re not careful. Keep logging everything, and you’ll see the numbers climb. “One rep at a time, one goal at a time.” Push on.
Got it, code is 095. I’ll weigh the powder after mixing—no missing a gram, that’ll mess the numbers. Logging everything, no excuses. One rep, one goal, keep moving.
