"The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now."

Get involved! Help us build here and yourself out at the same time. It's a win-win all the way.


You can now work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved.

  • As long as 100 reps of a combination of push-ups and squats are done, reply on my posts with those who helped.

  • 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 37 Results: 200 reps from 2 Steemians for Sat EST, 9/21.

Talk is cheap. Actions matter. Thank you for being involved!


My 9/21 Reps & Feedback: REST DAY

  • I went to the park and played chess, paddle ball, had a catch, and played some other sports games with some baseball teammates. It was good exercise. As punishment for losing some games, I did 10 push-ups, but they don't count here.

  • It was an easy night playing pool and ping pong, and going to bed on the early side for my baseball games on Sunday. I spent a lot of cardio energy at the park, and I'll be a little tired for baseball, but it'll make me stronger in the long run.

  • I never use supplements or any type of cheating. Just food, hydration, passion and hard work.


Today's Highlights:


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

Missed you on yesterday's!!

Done with mine as well, Liked the chest pump of the 50 push ups right after the chest day! <3

Getting my pushups down to 3 sets dropped my time even more. I'll probably hang out here for a bit and see if I can drop it down to 2:30, since I was about to failure on pushup sets 2 & 3.

Time: 2:39
20(PU) - 25 (AS) - 20(PU) - 25(AS) - 10(PU)

Wow. You're the pace setter now. How wide are your hands on your PU's?

Shoulder width, but my shoulders are fairly wide.

Full workout routine today, including deadlifts, bar squats, pushups, pullups, bench press and more.

Challenge is done.
