The challenges during the coronavirus pandemic as people stay home and exercise social distancing are piling up.
There’s the toilet paper challenge soccer players are taking up. The way folks are making “soap treadmills.” There’s the Trae Young #InHouseChallenge with socks as basketballs, and that boxer who kept a medicine ball in the air with his fists.
There’s also the “pushup challenge,” which is slightly confusing to me, only because it’s either just doing 10 pushups in your home and challenging some other people to do them … or it’s putting a kid/pet/something heavy on your back and doing 10 pushups (I’ve also seen it called “See 10, Do 10”).
Pro athletes have done it, including Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, who got roasted for his form:
