Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge & Exercise Tip - Day 130
Our 130 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) - Battle Rope Slams
- This is a basic exercise with ropes.
- Slam both ropes in unison.
- There are many alternative ways to use them.
- Do your own research to confirm the mechanics.
*BONUS TIP - never do this:
Daily Update:
- 20 Steemians contributed 6,245 daily reps.
Overall Summary:
- 412,392 overall by 48 Steemians from 12 countries in 129 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.

-100 Air Squats
My Daily Assessment:
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.

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."

Pistol Squats now that's legit! Good work!
Good mornings are one funny looking exercise :D... But hey, they are really effective if done correctly :)!
He he yes. The name of the exercise is possibly even funnier. Yeah, excellent exercise if done correctly. It was my first time doing it, but I think I got it just right.
Daily Challenge Completed - 500 reps:
Walking in my campus.
It's a bad habit of me. When I do exercise that time I take more food. I have to control that.
Eating food is ok, but try to eat better food. Drink more water too. Great job keeping up with the walking.
Thanks really good advice.
Todays challange completed
Shoulder workout
Total Reps 520
What was your workout?
Chest +jogging +cycling +treadmill total reps 992
Sorry for being late to post about yesterday's day...
Do you have a rep counter app on your phone or generally do the same workouts to know the totals?
Daily Rep Challenge Completed : - 116 reps.
I'm definitely in a rut at the moment... but I've got a competition in 19 days so I really need to pull my finger out and dive head first into the grind.
Hate feeling like I'm not pushing hard enough.
When in doubt take a nap, eat junk food, and quit...
Errr... I mean keep your head up and focus on your end goal!!
Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:
About 90 mins walking.
Today it was a recovery day so that tommorrow i can hit again 6 km swimming!
Sound solid to me. Every 30 minutes of walking can be 100 reps if you need it, but I appreciate deflating walking reps in general.
