(Edited)

You can now work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved. Also, even though I post videos like one today, no video or pics are necessary.

  • As a team example, soyrosa recently did 30 air squats, and crimsonclad supplemented this with 54 squats and 16 push-ups to complete the 100-rep challenge as a unit.

  • 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.

  • Uh oh... 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 34 Results: 320 reps from 3 Steemians for Wed EST, 9/18.

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


My 9/18 Reps & Feedback: 50 push-ups & 50 squats

  • I had a solid 80 minute gym workout and did my push-ups there "while resting between sets." I was amazed at how strong and fit I felt after not going for a week, but still doing my reps at home. I can't properly put it in words, but my body feels great and I feel 15 years younger. I'm not exaggerating at all. I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I'm doing something right.

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

  • Here's a quick clip of me doing the speed bag (not so smoothly). Drums + baseball arm = easy. I can do this all day and usually stop when the skin on my knuckles starts to get raw like it did yesterday...

  • I had a natural protein bar at the gym, but dinner was very light. I didn't have groceries at home except 2 servings of spinach I sautéed. I'll be making up for this tomorrow.

Today's Highlights:

  • @khufu stayed committed: "If it wasn't for this challenge I probably would have slacked off."

What's the challenge?

50 push-ups (modified if needed) and 50 air squats. If you want to do a different ratio or split, that's fine. Just reach 100 reps from these options and 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.

Make sure you go 90 degrees with your elbows and legs, with your back straight, on each rep. Don't have your elbows too wide on the floor. Feel free to help others if they look like that can use some advice.

Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. 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.

  • We don't always need an app and tokens for everything, or to worry about things we can't control.

  • Worry about what we can control. Let's put the human back into fitness here, and you will see and feel results.

Rep on,
@steemmatt

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