15,962 Reps From 12 Steemians After 42 Days - The Steem Daily 100 Rep Fitness Challenge - 50 Push-ups & 50 Squats - Day 43

in #fitnesschallenge5 years ago (edited)

Challenge completed. 340 reps from 3 Steemians for this round.

Please step up for yourselves to improve your health right now. It's our most valuable asset.


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

  • As long as 100 reps of a combo of push-ups and squats are done, reply on my post 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.

  • 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 42 Results: 340 reps from 3 Steemians for Thurs EST, 9/26.

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


My 9/26 Reps & Feedback: 30 Push-ups & 70 Squats

  • My legs feel great. It's mind blowing how out of shape they were when I thought they were ok before I started this challenge. I will go to the gym on Friday, but might rest on the challenge for the next two days because I have baseball practice on Saturday AM and two games on Sunday AM. TBD.

  • I'm still hovering at around 193 pounds, potentially 192. My triceps are getting pretty big so I need to counter that with more bicep work to be symmetrical. If I get under 190, it'll be the lightest I've been in 3-4 years, although somehow with much more muscle.

  • I also did 33 bar curls, 33 shoulder presses, and 33 shrugs with 75 pounds. This was a breeze.

  • 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

P.S. - Please use the fitnesschallenge tag if you can.

Sort:  

all the reps are in the basket :)

Maybe you need to start doing your reps in a weighted vest. You said you wanted a challenge!

I could but would be nice to have an example and a weighted west :)

Haha. Maybe I can do it in a wet wool sweater.
