The Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge & Workout Tip - Day 105
Today's exercise idea - Eccentric Nordic Hamstring Curls
- Excellent for sports.
- Can be done with a workout partner or alone.
- Excellent for hamstring injury/re-injury prevention.
- Helps hamstrings withstand high loads and resist damage.
- May increase running speed.
- Bands can be used for extra resistance.
- Just need a way to lock your legs/ankles.
- Padding needed for knees.
- Always stretch well before exercising.
Example without a partner (not me). Please do your own research to confirm the proper mechanics.
Daily Update:
- 20 Steemians contributed 5,731 daily reps for 3/21/18. Great uptick!

Advice:
- Stretch before and after exercise.

My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:
- 50 Front Shoulder Raises - 50L/50R (10 lb plate)
- 50 Calf Bar Raises (75 pounds)
My Daily Assessment:
I've been doing some research on what exercises are best for baseball players in season. I've done a good amount of bulking up through this challenge and need to dial it back to remain flexible and quick for my sport, especially for pitching.
I have to admit that all of the leg work lately has made my legs feel great. They're getting bigger and I can feel more power in each step. The only thing I need to be careful with is that my right knee seems to get a little cranky when I do a lot of squats, so I might have to space out my reps. I'm just trying to front load for my season for now.

New feedback 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!!"
New feedback 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!"
Feedback 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."
Feedback 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."
Feedback 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."

Yeah, my target is 200 push ups every morning, so I have to keep increasing. I did 100 today because I was late for work.

My notes:
Today was my rest day! I did not attend my crossfit class because it was raining and don't want to get sick. So I decided to have my "rest day" here at home. I am a bit sore today, but as one of my last post states it takes 21 days to create a new habit. My habit is never quitting and working out each day. I hope all of you had a great day and got your daily workout in.
Looks like a @rmsbodybuilding rest day. BOOM!!!!!!!!
Ha ha I was thinking the same thing! LOL
@rmsbodybuilding I guess your rest day is one of my best days! Ha ha

And about 300 jumping exercise
That's the look of someone who just did a badass workout. How long did your jump exercises last? Are you jumping onto something?
Your gym also has absurdly nice hardwood floors. Hah.
Hahahaha. Lol. I thought it's time to go wild after receiving less credit for my work out yesterday. Lol.
And yeah thanks about the floors. Cheers
Crap. What'd I missed yesterday? Was it the Damien Patrick workout 102? I didn't realize that was reps the way it was formatted in the reply if so.
Let me know about those jumps above.
Hahaha. Lol. Yeah Damien Patrick 102
Jumping exercise description.
About 100 high knees
100 jumping jacks
And 100 squat jumps
I think squat jumps are an awesome exercise. I should start doing those. Thanks for the idea. Jumping jacks are reps, slightly on the "cardio" side of the scale, but still full body reps. As for the high knees, I think those are more in line with running and cardio/sort of like a jump rope could be counted for each one, but it's mainly a cardio thing. Would you agree?
Counting the high knees as about 5-10 mins of cardio (don't hate me), I still get a whopping 972 reps from you.
Yes you should definitely start doing squat jumps, it's a brilliant exercise for legs. And about high knees, I think this is the difficult exercise of them all, tires you quickly.
And don't worry I can't hate you, I do work out for myself and not for anyone else. So chill
Cool. All chill. Just trying to be funny. I actually did a little write up on the jumps in the newest blog and gave you a shout so you can maybe get a few more followers.
