Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge & Exercise Tip - Day 127

Our 127 consecutive day community health initiative needs help getting out of a <$1.50 rewards rut to help us stay motivated and sustainable for my SBD award payouts.

The Challenge:

At least 100 honest reps of your choice of exercise. 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) - Medicine Ball Slam

• Core, hips, arms, abs...
• Use a stable floor.
• Do your own research to confirm the mechanics.
  

*BONUS TIP - never do this:

Daily Update:

• 15 Steemians contributed 5,400 daily reps.
• Congrats to @rmsbodybuilding for crossing over 60K reps and earning their 6th SBD.
• Congrats to @wa2qr for crossing over 10K reps and earning 1 SBD.
• Congrats to @rjunaid12 for crossing over 10K reps and earning 1 SBD.

Overall Summary:

• 395,322 overall by 48 Steemians from 12 countries in 126 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. (21 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 Push-ups

My Daily Assessment:

My front shoulder strain is still getting in the way of working out my upper body, and I may have gotten a cold from playing baseball last weekend in 35 degrees (no surprise). Push-ups didn't seem to aggravate it too much.

Running low on motivation with how little the overall Steemit community appreciates these posts. Congrats to those who are taking off with their daily posts. If rewards stay stuck in this zone, the bar for SBD payouts may need to move to make this more sustainable.

I'll pay the pending 3 SBD out when my rewards roll in.

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."
