13,622 Reps From 12 Steemians After 35 Days - The Steem Daily 100 Rep Fitness Challenge - 50 Push-ups & 50 Squats - Day 36
"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."
You can now work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved. Also, even though I post videos like one today, no video or pics are necessary.
As a team example, soyrosa recently did 30 air squats, and crimsonclad supplemented this with 54 squats and 16 push-ups to complete the 100-rep challenge as a unit.
I encourage more of this so people don't feel intimidated. The goal is to be happy, proud, and healthy from this exercise and participation.
Uh oh... excuses are thinning!
Current charts with everyone's stats and progress:
It's not a competition between people, but it's one with ourselves to improve our health and wellness.
Day 35 Results: 300 reps from 3 Steemians for Thurs EST, 9/19.
- @steemmatt (US) - 100
- @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - 100

Talk is cheap. Actions matter. Thank you for being involved!
My 9/19 Reps & Feedback: 50 push-ups & 50 squats
I was supposed to out and play darts with my friends, but they dropped out. I wound up skipping the gym in anticipation of a night out, so I wrote this post instead, and did my reps before bed. I wasn't in the best of moods, but I did them anyway.
I never use supplements or any type of cheating. Just food, hydration, passion and hard work.
Dinner was this entire box of several "servings" to carb up and some chicken later on.
Today's Highlights:
- @joshman set a new personal record at 2:47. That's around my best time so far. Very impressive.
What's the challenge?
50 push-ups (modified if needed) and 50 air squats. If you want to do a different ratio or split, that's fine. Just reach 100 reps from these options and reply below with an affirmation, pic, link, or video. We're on the honor system.
*Team entries are now accepted.
If you can't do all of the push-ups, I know you can do squats for the rest. Get involved!
To people new, see the kickoff post linked below. We'll be opening up to other exercise types in due time. I'm trying to keep this simple for now to get everyone assembled and on the same page.
This is for your health. Why not try to join us just once to see how it goes?
To any interested Steemians who want more info/background: *Please see this link from the kickoff post for details.
Everyone please support and encourage the team here. They're working hard to build a community the hard way. It's about the bigger picture.
Make sure you go 90 degrees with your elbows and legs, with your back straight, on each rep. Don't have your elbows too wide on the floor. Feel free to help others if they look like that can use some advice.
Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. This will be far from all I do on most days, and the same can go for you.
Markets and spirits may be down now, but our health should always be on the rise.
We don't always need an app and tokens for everything, or to worry about things we can't control.
Worry about what we can control. Let's put the human back into fitness here, and you will see and feel results.
Rep on,
@steemmatt
P.S. - Please use the fitnesschallenge tag if you can.
Challenge done!
The sun rises, the sun sets, you do your reps.
Done!

You're back. I hear that push-ups or squats cut 1 week illnesses down to 4 days. Worth a shot.
