Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge & Exercise Recommendation - Day 124

Please support this community health initiative.

The Challenge:

At least 100 honest reps of your choice of exercise every day. No excuses. No bullsh*t. Just actions, positivity, results and progress. Only post AFTER your reps are done. Always support each other. Full guidelines and conditions below.

Daily exercise idea (not a requirement) - Rowing Machine

• One of my favorites for warm-up and cooling down.
• Do your own research to confirm the mechanics.
  

*BONUS TIP - never do this:

Daily Update:

• 15 Steemians contributed 6,473 daily reps.
• Thanks for your support.

Overall Summary:

• 378,828 overall by 47 Steemians from 12 countries in 123 workout days.
• I can only upvote so much without exhausting my voting power daily, so please help me reward their effort.

Challenge Overview:

• You choose what types of exercise reps to do.
• 30 minutes of fitness walking, running, spinning, biking, cross-country skiing, etc., can count as 100 reps if you need to rest or can't use weights.
• I'll award 1 SBD for every 10,000 rep milestone. (18 SBD paid out)
• I run the numbers daily which is sometimes harder than my reps.

Conditions:

• Weights not required.
• Do real reps, use good form, aiming for 100+.
• Start your reply with "Challenge Completed".
• Reply with a list of the exercises and reps you did.
• Cumulative tallies are appreciated as a separate line.
• Only submit reps you've done, not ones you're planning to do.
• Use the tag "fitnesschallenge" on associated posts.
• Upvoting or resteeming is appreciated to reach more.
• Try to upvote as many contributors as possible to motive each other.

Advice:

• Stretch before and after.
• Breathe properly on each rep.
• Quality over quantity.
• Eat a healthy snack after/stay hydrated.
• Start with exercises you enjoy to build up for harder ones.
• Take before pictures to appreciate results over time.
• Feel good about your accomplishments.

My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:

100 Bar Calf Raises (75 pounds)

My Daily Assessment:

I seemed to have a muscle strain or ligament issue in the front of my right shoulder from pitching, so I have to figure out work out around it to keep exercising, but let it heal.

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!!"

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!"

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."

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."

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."
