Push Up Challenge Day 8/9

Hi Steemians, Day 8/9 of the 22 Push Up Challenge. Yesterday I had no time to record a video, but I did my 22 Push-Ups. Today I will nominate @the-future.

What is it about?

I was nominated for the 22 Push Up Challenge on Facebook and I started with it today. The challenge is for a good cause, to attract attention for people with posttraumatic stress disorder. The origin of the action is in the initiative "22Kill", advocating for war veterans in the United States. According to a study of the US Department, in the cut 22 veterans a day took their own lives in the United States in the year 2010. Many soldiers who were deployed in the Iraq war or Afghanistan, have to fight with the processing of their experiences even years later. Physicians speak of post-traumatic stress disorder in this context.

How does it works?

  • If you are nominated, you start at the next day and you are doing 22 Push-Ups for 22 days.

  • Record/photograph your series of 22 Push-Ups every day. Try to reach the 22 Push-Ups as good as possible. If necessary, are you doing them on your knees, or take a break. But try to film the 22 Push-Ups in a recording.

  • Every day you are nominating someone else. Try to choose people where you think that they want to do that or have the possibility to do it.

  • And finally: HAVE FUN



[German] Hallo Steemianer, Tag 8/9 der 22 Push Up Challenge. Gestern bin ich nicht dazu gekommen ein Video aufzunehmen, aber ich habe meine 22 Push Ups gemacht. Heute nominiere ich @the-future.

Ich wurde auf Facebook für die 22 Push Up Challenge nominiert und habe damit heute angefangen. Die Challenge ist für einen guten Zweck und zwar um Aufmerksamkeit für Leute mit Posttraumatische Belastungsstörung (PTBS) zu erregen. Ihren Ursprung hat die Aktion in der Initiative "22Kill", die sich für Kriegsveteranen in den USA einsetzt. Einer Studie des zuständigen US-Ministeriums zufolge nahmen sich im Jahr 2010 im Schnitt 22 Veteranen pro Tag in den Vereinigten Staaten das Leben. Viele Soldaten, die etwa im Irakkrieg oder in Afghanistan eingesetzt waren, haben auch noch Jahre später mit der Verarbeitung ihrer Erlebnisse zu kämpfen. Mediziner sprechen in diesem Zusammenhang von der posttraumatischen Belastungsstörung.

Wie funktioniert es?

  • Sobald du nominierst bist, fängst du am nächsten Tag an und machst an 22 aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen je 22 Push-Ups (Liegestütz).

  • Jeden Tag filmst/fotografierst du deine Serie von 22 Push-Ups. Versuche die 22 Stück so gut wie möglich zu erreichen. Wenn notwendig, machst du sie auf den Knien, oder mache eine Pause. Versuche aber die 22 Push-Ups in einer Aufnahme zu filmen.

  • Jeden Tag nominierst du eine andere Person. Versuche Menschen zu wählen wovon du denkst, dass die das tun wollen und/oder auch die Möglichkeit haben es zu tun.

  • Und schließlich: HAVE FUN

Here I have uploaded my Facebook-Video for you again:

[German] Hier habe ich wieder mein Facebook-Video noch mal für euch hochgeladen:


Have a nice evening and hear you in my next article!
[German] Habt einen schönen Abend und wir hören uns in meinem nächsten Artikel!

Wow, I hadn't expected that you will pick me. I will try to make them tomorrow, but I don't know if I will be able to make them for 22 days ​because I got a surgery 2 months ago and I' m a little afraid. Tomorrow I will see how will be. I think it's a good cause and I will give it a try.

My hobby of studying arrows, friend

I've been witness to and intimately affected by interaction with people in my life experiencing PTSD due to the Vietnam war. Today I'll do 22 pushups with you!

My pleasure to support and upgrade my existence at the same time. Thanks for the inspiration @future24.

Hey, @future24 I tried today to make the push-ups, but I can't do it yet. I'm still too weak after the surgery. I will keep practicing every day for a faster recovery. Cheers!

Hi @the-future, yes of course no problem and Cheers!

Ok man, cheers!
