Challenge completed by 5 Steemians for 500 more reps.

I played 2 baseball games and did my 100 at night. I pitched exceptionally well against the Summer league champions, throwing 5 sharp innings to allow only 2 earned runs for the win. I struck out 3 or 4 batters and induced a lot of bad contact with my knuckleball. My ERA through 11 inning is now 2.55. That's pretty good, but I can do better. I feel great and am excited to play again next weekend.

In other words, get off your asses and improve your health right now. It's our most valuable asset.

Help us build here and yourself at the same time. It's a win-win all the way.

You can now work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved.

• As long as 100 reps of a combination of push-ups and squats are done, reply on my posts with those who helped.

• 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!

It's not a competition between people, but it's one with ourselves to improve our health and wellness.

My 9/22 Reps & Feedback: 50 Push-ups and 50 Squats

• I felt great at my baseball games and was strong. My legs are developing so much I can't believe it. My hamstrings, quads and calves are in excellent shape now and are larger than I can remember in a long time. It just goes to show that you don't need weights or fancy machines. You just need to be consistent and put in the effort.

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

• Dinner was 1.25 pounds of ground chicken.

Today's Highlights:

• @joshman destroyed his personal best time yet again with 2:39 for 50/50.

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
