“Sweet dreams! Was feeling lazy, so tried this combination– 5 pullups and 5 pushups 4 sets, very satisfying!” he captioned the post.
The 57-year-old continued, “Mumbai is hot this month but that doesn’t mean I won’t have a few minutes to myself in the outdoors. Choosing any activity that is even a little challenging, every day, is my best habit.”
Many lauded his discipline including his wife Ankita Konwar. “Incredible,” wrote Konwar. Other users too commented, “Where do you get all this energy from? You are brilliant, keep up the good work sir”. Another user wrote, “Very neat. Very clean”.
Performing pushups and pullups back-to-back, without any rest, is an intense workout that offers numerous benefits. “This exercise routine increases the upper body strength and muscle definition by targeting the chest, shoulders, back, biceps, and triceps,” said Varun Rattan, co-founder, The Body Science Academy, Noida.
“It is also an excellent cardiovascular exercise. By combining both push and pull movements, the heart rate can be elevated substantially before the muscles fatigue. This makes non-stop pushups and pullups a good option for those looking to improve overall fitness,” shared Rattan.

Eliminating rest periods increases the intensity of the workout, allowing you to achieve maximum benefits in a shorter amount of time. “By pushing through the entire workout without rest, you train your body to work harder for longer periods of time. This can translate to improved performance in other areas of your life, such as work or sports,” the expert noted.
One of the biggest advantages of this routine is its time-saving aspect. With minimum equipment required, it can be done almost anywhere, at any time. “This workout can be completed in less than five minutes, making it an excellent option for those with busy schedules,” said Rattan.
Concluding, he said, “By including air squats in this workout, one can target the lower body as well, including the quadriceps and glutes.”
