AE25 ISN’T A WORKOUT IT’S A PATTERN INTERRUPT.

You don’t schedule AE25.

You insert it.

Sitting too long? Stand up. Squats.

Locked into a screen trance? Drop. Push-ups.

Watching TV? Core work.

No drama. No ceremony.

When you step away to do AE25 — especially into a quiet, private space — you’re doing more than moving your body. You’re forcing navigation. That activates the hippocampus: memory, orientation, emotional regulation. The same system therapy uses to reset the mind.

It’s like a smoke break.

Like a lunch break.

Like a mental escape.

Except instead of numbing out, you’re reclaiming control.

That’s an AE25 break.

AE25 — THE MINIMUM STANDARD

AE25 is not a challenge.

It’s the daily discipline floor for Athletic Entrepreneurs.

The Rule

Every day:

• 25 reps × 5 movements

• 125 reps total

• No skipping

The Movements

• Push-ups (25)

• Squats (25)

• Core reps (25)

• Pull reps (25)

• Leg / stability reps (25)

You can modify.

You can break them up.

You cannot skip the day.

Why 25

• Small enough to remove excuses

• Big enough to create resistance

• Repeatable anywhere

• Sustainable long-term

What AE25 Trains

• Consistency

• Mental toughness

• Identity discipline

AE25 is the floor — not the ceiling.

You can do more.

You can’t do less.

If you can’t handle 25 reps, you can’t handle pressure.
