Drawbacks of Saitama Training
So far the training of this superhero seems great, but the problem appears when He repeats it over and over again, day after day. What about people who can’t do a push-up or can’t run more than a mile? Saitama does not escalate his training, doing exercises adapted to beginners, so such people would be excluded.
Another notable drawback is that do not perform pulling exercises to stimulate muscle groups such as the back or biceps. Over time Saitama will develop muscular imbalances that will lead to shoulder pain and altered posture by focusing only on thrusts.

For a beginner level we can scale the training as best suits us. An option can be do multiple blocks of work instead of doing it all together. That is, instead of doing 100 push-ups in a row, we will do 15-20 and so on with each of the exercises.
In this way we could make 5-6 sets of 15-20 reps per set push-ups, sit-ups, and air squats. Each round ends with two kilometers of running. We will perform the same number of repetitions (100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 air squats and 10km run), but we will do it more easily.
