I've been procrastinating on finding other remote work and sending out job applications for the past months because I dread seeing those traditional ways of job recruitment. I knew I never would fit nor would I conform to the old ways of work conditioning. So I somehow just found myself enjoying my stay here on Hive. 😅 But as I promised to myself I must finish this mission of remote-job-hunting by the end of this year.
500 Squats? What for?
Then I stumbled on this job posting where they were looking for someone to fill a specialized role which I have been eyeing and waiting for some time now. Damn, I was excited! And their only requirement to pass the first stage was 500 push-ups for men and 500 squats for women!
500 Squats to test one's mental strength and endurance! It won't be an easy feat and most would just shrug this one out and move on to the next job posting they could find and easily apply to but not me! 😁 This unique way of hiring people was interesting for me and I like a little challenge.
Can I do it?
Hell, I don't know but I have to try, right? My older self would say right away "I can't" because of my physical condition back then. But now that I have lost some weight, been eating healthy, and working out (yoga, swimming, and dancing) consistently, I found myself willingly taking the challenge without a beat. Since I'm just going to do it, I'll put in the effort and push myself to complete it.
My motivation?
Bills and My Cat - Osiris. 😂 Well, my cat got sick and I'm already foreseeing some expenses because of the maintenance we have to do in the coming weeks and months. But on a serious note, I've adjusted to my simple beach life here and found myself ready to be doing more of my life.
Was I able complete 500 squats?
You can watch the video! 😉 But if there was one takeaway from this challenge that I can share with you is that "If you want something, then you don't give up easily."
If I did finish the 500 squats, hopefully, I'll move on to the next stage of the recruitment process. If not, at least it was one hell of a workout! You should try it too!

My gosh miss! How amazing your body is to be able to do 500 squats. Wait, I just wanna ask when do you inhale and exhale? Do you inhale when you are in the standing position and exhale when you are in a squat position? or vice versa?
I haven't done this before, but I know the feeling of shaky knees and the heaviness of the legs. Congrats miss for achieving this kind of workout, and kudos to the company you are applying for because their style is way different.
I noticed the door closed itself, (is there a mumu there?) just kidding! Love the last note you showed.
inhale when squatting. exhale when standing up. I did the challenge yesterday and now my legs are sore! can't properly walk the stairs! 😂
I'd do this workout again but probably just 100-200. 500 is too much for the body in just one go! thanks for dropping by. I appreciate it!
Gosh, way to go, Clara! I can only do 30 reps in 3 sets! I like your determination. Pahiram naman ng lakas mo, girl! Love it!
Ay nako jiji ugh! If I know, mas sexy ka pa kaysa sa akin. But thank you. minsan lng ako may determination. pamood mood gaya nlng lovelife natin.
POWER!!
Biliba!!
You know 2 days ago I started doing squats too, so your post is so timely 😅
500 is still a long way to go for me but you inspired me to push through my fitness goals journey 😂
Great job @indayclara! How to be you po?
Start with the food jud. 😝 Make the right choice! Sama sa lovelife, mamili jud ta og angay para sa atong lawas 😏
Bitaw, do what your body can do at the moment. no pressure and just be consistent. ahw. abot jud na og 500!
Ka nice ba mu advice oyyy, with konting hugot 😅
Pero bitaw, it takes disciple to change something in me.
I'll try to limit on the food. I love to eat junk man gud, my stress reliever.
I have not tried this squat challenge dear friend, @indayclara All I know is to sit and eat but I love walking, jogging, climbing. You are really amazing. How to be you po. Best regards. Have a great day and keep safe always.
Holy shit, that was hella hectic.
500 pushups challenge. Go na yarn! 💪🙈
hahahaha
That your next challenge for another job?
Ahyyyjeezz!! Sakit nyan sa kasukasuhan. Pero gorabels, keri mo yan dai. Hihi
Hahaha. Thank you!
Grabe yung 500! Hirap na hirap na ako sa 50😆 Sumakit ba yung tuhod mo the next day?
I just did the challenge yesterday! And my legs are so sore! I can't walk the stairs properly. Sakit but I can feel sumexy na ako. hahaha.
You are sexy! Sa abs nga ako nakatingin the whole time💪hahahah I-level up ko nga din yung squats ko baka sakaling sumexy din🍑 hahaha
Yowzer, I think 500 push ups or squats would put me in hospital a month although my mind says I can still do it like back in the day although my body would kick me these days 😅
Definately sounds like an interesting job though compared the mundane type thing that I have the same mindset about as you & bills and Osiris are definately good motivation 😻
Incredibly well done on completing the 500 and good luck with the rest of the process………you can do it 😊🤞
whoa! 500?? 💪😉👍
the most i did was 50 in a row, then i am sore for the next few days.. :P
Hope u get the job!
Just wow! I complain at 30… but 500??? You are awesome!
Wow, impressive! Congrats :) You are very fit. Cool video too btw :) I would definitely go for push ups rather than squats but it would still be very challenging for me even though I work out regularly...

Thanks @phortun! Push ups are way to do! I end up just doing planks instead. My legs are sore as of the moment but the experience was something. 😆
power uy! you look totally different na jd inday! in a good way ba...
Both are on your favor. No regrets for squatting 500 time anyway. Super strong! Ommy. Salute!
Grabe ung 500 miss @indayclara!! Ang galing!! Nahiya ung 20 squats tapos ngalay agad ung binti ko haha. 😄😄
Anong effect po sa katawan after?
