16,912 Reps From 12 Steemians After 45 Days - The Steem Daily 100 Rep Fitness Challenge - Push-ups/Squats/Shoulder Presses - Day 46

in #fitnesschallenge5 years ago (edited)

To try to catch time zones better, I'll be posting the next round of challenge earlier on Tuesday, 10/1. Please respond to this one a little earlier than usual to help me even out the days again.

By popular demand, shoulder presses have been added to the challenge options. Please include the weight. Thanks, @thevillan. Hope to see you around more now.

We had 350 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, squats, and shoulder presses 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 45 Results: 350 reps from 3 Steemians for Sunday EST, 9/29.

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


My 9/29 Reps & Feedback: Rest day #2 with intense baseball for 6 hours in hot weather.

  • My body was so spent from the games and prior exercises, that there was no way it felt smart or helpful to push out reps. I caught a full game behind the plate and did plenty of squats there, but it doesn't count.

  • I felt a little guilty for resting, but I really didn't want to hurt myself. Also, my body needed a little time to build the muscle I consistently keep challenging.

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


Today's Highlights:


What's the challenge?

100 reps from:

  • Push-ups
  • Air squats/squats
  • Shoulder presses (include weight)

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.

Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. Use good form to avoid injury and to get the best results.

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.

Rep on,
@steemmatt

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

Reps are done. 50 of each

And hey, don't feel bad about resting. Sometimes it's essential. And as you point out, you could hurt yourself and then you wouldn't be able to do any reps at all for a while. You'll be back on top soon enough!
