Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge & Exercise Idea - Day 113

in #fitness7 years ago (edited)

If you need inspiration to get back into a physical fitness routine, you should get involved here...

Daily exercise idea - Boxing Speed Bag

  • Easily my favorite exercise.
  • Blasts your shoulders.
  • Can mix in your shoulder workout or on cardio days.
  • There are many different techniques and patterns, so research/experiment.
  • I'm a drummer, so it's natural to maintain a good rhythm. Practice!
  • Might want to wear gloves or tape on knuckles to protect skin.
  • Make sure the bag is secure and at a comfortable height.
  • I'm pretty violent and fast on the bag, but it can be easy like the man below.

If he can do it, you can. Please do your own research to confirm the proper mechanics.

*BONUS TIP - Don't ever do this...

Daily Update:

  • 12 Steemians contributed 4,005 daily reps for 3/29/18.

Overall Summary:

  • 314,248 overall by 43 Steemians from 11 countries in 112 workout days.
  • I can only upvote so much without exhausting my voting power daily, so please help me reward their effort.

The Challenge:

At least 100 honest reps of exercise every day. No excuses. No bullsh*t. Just actions, positivity, and results. Only post AFTER your reps are done. Always support each other.

  • You choose what types of exercise reps to do.
  • 30 minutes of fitness walking, running, spinning, biking, cross-country skiing, etc., can count as 100 reps if you need to rest or can't use weights.
  • I'll award 1 SBD for every 10,000 rep milestone. (16 SBD paid out)
  • I run the numbers daily which is sometimes harder than my reps.

Conditions:

  • Weights not required.
  • Do real reps with good form, aiming for 100+.
  • Start your reply with "Challenge Completed".
  • Reply with a list of the exercises and reps you did.
  • Cumulative tallies are appreciated as a separate line.
  • Only submit reps you've done, not ones you're planning to do.
  • Use the tag "fitnesschallenge" on associated posts.
  • Upvoting or resteeming is appreciated to reach more.
  • Try to upvote as many contributors as possible to motive each other.

Advice:

  • Stretch before and after exercise.
  • Breathe properly on each rep.
  • Quality over quantity.
  • Eat a healthy snack after and stay hydrated.
  • Start with exercises you enjoy to build up for harder ones.
  • Take before pictures to appreciate results over time.
  • Feel good about your accomplishments.

My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:

-1 hour walking (100 reps)

My Daily Assessment:

Had to do light walking with two baseball games this weekend. I should be the starting pitcher in the second game and will be playing playing the field when not pitching (plus hitting), so I need to be fully charged. My baseball bat feels like a feather from all my workouts, so this is encouraging.

As a favor to all those who participate but don't upvote, please do. It helps encourage others, even if a penny, because it shows you're appreciative and motivated to give.

From @musclegirlfusion:

"Since I started posting in this challenge, you've given me a reason to blog on steemit. No matter how discouraged I get when it seems like no one is reading what I write, I know I can write it and post it here and it adds to the challenge. So thank you for giving me the motivation I need to stick with blogging!!"

From @bitfiend:

"After starting 6 days ago I already feel stronger. This is definitely the most consistent exercise I've done in an extremely long time but I am happy to be taking part! While I walk around mostly in pain, I know it's all for a good cause! My health! I am feeling better and I'd say my sickness is mostly gone now. I think that if I had not been exercising, I may have been sick for a bit longer. Persistence pays off!"

From @mightpossibly:

"I find it deeply satisfying to do these reps, which is a big deal. I've always hated the gym and prefer to exercise at home. But I've lacked the discipline to do it. It sort of feels like I have gym buddies now, without the hassle of going to the gym."

From @notorious562:

"I seriously cannot explain how much this group pushes and motivate me to keep working harder. I love this fitness community and the support and encouragement will help us achieve our goals."

From @khufu:

"Your challenge has helped immensely to keep me motivated lately. I've had a lot of... problems going on so your challenge has been a quantum of sanity in an insane world for me."

Please support our hard work and dedication and ask any questions in the comments below.

Please also resteem this new format/replace in your post links if you don't mind to try to get a fresh start on spreading the word on our challenge.

Details in my blog

1 hour gymnastics and bodyweight training in my gym - KRABA.
Besides our usual mobility exercises we did some new movements which looked funny but were quite demanding, e.g. sporty bear walk, koala walk and crocodile walk. It is difficult to describe the movements, therefore at least a photo of the crocodile walk.

The second hour we did an eastern-special.
A downsized "Sissy-Test" from DragonDoor.

In total we did 171 Swings and 171 Burpees. 6 rounds i did the burpee without pushup to regenerate my arms.

@steemmatt
Yesterday I apparently forgot to enter my training. So the 247 repetitions were not for nothing, but unfortunately do not count for your challenge ;-)
Sorry.

You still win with the reps as you said. Plenty of work the following day here to more than make up for it.

For friday, challenge complete: 600 reps Screenshot_20180330-235343.jpg
