So I want your opinion at 283 is 100 squats a day with 100 crunches and 50 push-ups with 10 kettle rows per side safe to do daily?

"Hyaku" -or- "How I stopped being a Hermit" by Spauracchio Since I quit my job last october, I’ve been living like a hermit: barely getting out of my cave ...ehm... room, having fewer possessions, snarling at the sun like a vampire would, etc. Even my friends started to call themselves "Hermits United" as a Doctor Who joke. If I want to move forward, I need to change that. The main theme behind this challenge, as the title suggests, is the number “Hyaku” or “Hundred”. Diet & Fitness Goals 100 Kilometers The Problem: I've got used to the comfort of my bedroom, or as I call it: “My Happy Place”, my place to make the world disappear and recharge batteries (I’m a INTJ if you know what I mean…). That has affected my level of physical activity, since I used to walk a lot, and my level of comfort being outside doing things. The Solution: To get out of my comfort zone and get used to the routes around home and progressively workout outside more. The Plan: to go out and walk at least 3 km per day, three times a week. 100 Repetitions The Problem: No money, no schools fees, no lessons. I gotta train on my own. And sometimes in the midst of my training sessions I over indulge myself with rests or early breaks. The Solution: In the spirit of the famous quote “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.” I’d practice 100 repetitions of several movements during my martial arts training and only stop after they’re done. I’m including both martial arts in this lists: Wing Chun and Ninjutsu techniques. The Plan: Three times a week: heavy bag drills and katas. Wing Tzun’s Chain Punch Pak Dar, Tan Dar,… (both sides). Ninjutsu’s Sanshin no Kata Ninjutsu’s Kihon Happo Koshi Sanpo Waza. 100 Recipes The Problem: I haven’t got any money to buy groceries, I need a job for that (see bottom). But when I do, I don’t want to lose any time planning meals or looking up for stupid simple recipes or meal ideas. So I’m doing what I can right now to eat healthy. (I keep doing my usual habits of drinking water, tea, no added sugar, fasting, etc… but I didn't want to focus any challenge energy on them… again.). The Solution: Put together a cookbook (hello, evernote food!) of stupid, simple, cheap, fast, healthy, recipes with the ingredients on a side to make meal planning easier. The Plan: 6 weeks, 100 recipes, posted online, saved on evernote and/or dropbox folder. Life Goal Stop being a Hermit: Find a Job. The Problem: No Job, no money, no nothing, niente, nada, zero, kaput. The Solution: Use my superpower (languages) to my benefit and look up for jobs in companies that need multilingual staff. (Airlines, hotels, etc). I could stick to education… but that’d make no difference to my problem stated above. I could explain this more but it’s a very sad a depressing story, so I’ll just wave my hand and say: wibbly wobbly “developing country” wimey. The Plan: Open my address book. Collect some debts and favors. Call some friends. Update resume. Sell my ninja skills to the highest paying shogun. Do whatever it takes to find a job before this challenge ends. Ready or not, Here I come!
