My Daily Assessment:
My entire body after my first baseball weekend is brutally sore... everywhere. This is literally all I can do as I recover, especially from all of the pitching. It usually only happens after the first weekend or two, and then I'm almost always unaffected by the games.

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."

Omg those people that have to use exercise balls or those half ball this you stand on to do squats just drives me mad. If you want to focus more on core exercises, then do core exercises.

PS. I think you forgot to add my yesterday's reps to the table! Also, I'm from Finland if you want to add that to the table :).
You're right - I forgot to update the formula to grab your running tally. Thanks!! Our first person from Finland!
Hot Yoga MONDAY 100 reps for me please!!
Jogging early morning 1 hour..... Cricket day.... I didn't had fitness band with me so can't give actual count today... But i played for approx 7 hours so today you give my total reps...
Let's say 200 clear reps for the jog and 600 for the cricket here for 800 total (since I know it's a ton of running).
I mainly sort of want to keep sports games as sports (like my baseball for 6-7 hours as well) because we'd be playing them anyway, and the gym/isolated cardio would be where the bulk of our reps come from as a separate effort. Otherwise, it'll sort of skew the numbers for the others who put in like 200 reps at the gym or a focused cardio activity. Let me know if that's cool.
A variation of the tricep bench dip to increase load, is to use two benches and place your feet on the second one. Now you can also add weights in your lap without them falling down.
Great point. Thank you!
