Have anybody tried this routine? I just decided to do it starting this year. If you have tried this, could you share your experience?
Do 100 squats everyday

I have a hard time watching influencers, so I couldn't bring myself to watch the whole video and had to skim it after the first section. I may have missed something of greater worth later on, but from the parts I watched I don't think it's terribly valuable, except maybe for folks who have trouble with a sedentary lifestyle (which I know from your posts isn't you).
I've tried something similar many years ago, though it was more like sets of ~50, instead of 100, but immediately before and 90 minutes after consuming calories, so a lot more total volume daily. I don't really see the point from a fitness perspective, though I've seen some interesting arguments for the purpose of nutrient partitioning (which may have been totally debunked, or demonstrated to be effective, by now - I haven't looked into this in years). Multiple daily sets of 50 (with good form) were kind of hard to do when I started but rapidly got to be pretty easy. I imagine sets of 100 would be similar, and since you're lighter than I was from the videos I've seen of you, it might be easier still (though I was much younger then).
You're primarily creating metabolic adaptations to that specific kind of physical activity, and at the start, skill development, so there just isn't a lot of benefit unless your goal is to be able to do 100 air squats easily, then it's great! You'll get better strength development from weighted squats or leg press and you'll get more metabolic benefit and better strength development (though not as much strength increase as from weights) from something like windsprints or the Tabata IE1. In my opinion, if you want to do something like this, you'd get a lot more benefit from doing kicking drills that represented a similar amount of effort. Then you could practice a useful skill while getting a very similar metabolic benefit.
I can say more about all of this but that sums up my basic thoughts on the matter.

Not this exact routine but squat variations were a part of my daily workout.

I do a few āasian toilet squats ā a day (not because Iām at toilet need to dump), about 30 in a row as part of my overall training, kind of a warmup thing.
Back in time when I was a karate guy, I did - squat- raise up and maegeri(front kick)- squat- raise up kick with other legā¦and so on

In one of my previous job assignments, I would do a set of 10 bodyweight squats at each hour of a 12 hour shift (100 a day). This was to counteract having to sit so much.
I have bad knees (arthritis and a "reconstruction" on my right knee), after about a month, I started having a lot of knee pain so I stopped doing so many repetitions.

Long story, but I have had 3-1/2 knee replacements. I have learned foot placement/angle really, really matters. There are some angles that will cause pain after high or even moderate repetitions. For me, if I turn my toes in too much it loads the outer knee more causing pain. If I turn my feet out a little, I can work the quad without too much pain.
My weight is about where it should be for my height (I go up/down about 10-pounds from summer to winter) but I just don't do deep squats anymore because of my old hips and ankles.
