5,334 Reps From 9 Steemians After 13 Days - Join The Steem Daily 100 Rep Fitness Challenge Of 50 Push-ups & 50 Squats! - Day 14

(Edited)

Only 300 Reps from 3 Steemians yesterday, and Steem's price is falling (with lower author rewards), but I'm still building here. --- Join in!

The 50/50 rep split isn't essential, so long as 100 reps are hit between push-ups and squats for this phase of the challenge, you're a winner.

Let's grow this healthy community now by spreading the word and contributing some reps. This is for your health.

To people new, see the intro link 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.

What's the challenge? 50 push-ups (modified if needed) and 50 air squats. See my video. 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.

If you can't do all of the push-ups, I know you can do squats for the rest. Get involved!

Highlights:

  • Still posting this when not many seem to care.

My Reps: 75 air squats & 25 push-ups

My legs really felt the 100 squats last night, but doing more is how you grow. I have a baseball practice session tomorrow, so I wanted to save my upper body for that and let my chest recharge a little bit more. I had to jog a little to get somewhere and my legs felt amazing. I feel so much more endurance, stability and speed from just 2 weeks of daily reps.

No video today. Just hammered out my reps late at night.

Net Participation: 9 Steemians from 7 countries for 5,334 reps!

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. 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 the results.

Rep on,
@steemmatt

I'll update the reps. I was sure you forgot because you don't miss workouts! Just reply to the last post with it even if late.

Got mine done today. I did one set of pushups and a set of squats, then took about 30 seconds break and did that again until they were all done. When I get over this flu, it should be easy to do them without a break.

This could have been a post but screw it, I hope you don't mind the long replies!

The highlight reminded me to tell you that I hope you keep it going! Knowing that the challenge is in action reminds me and pushes me to get involved. I may skip a few days but I definitely plan on being a part of it as much as I can.

100 reps is not hard to do , it just isn't. It also does wonders for your body (I know from having experienced it once after a short 100 days).

I didn't participate yesterday and my legs felt like spaghetti noodles so I definitely wasn't doing squats, but I could have and should have done something else.

Today was a jobsite day and my legs still feel like spaghetti noodles. I had to load and unload about 50 sticks of 20 foot rebar. I went with 3 at a time but should have carried more. I also carried three 1/2" 8x4 sheets which was not bad but it was windy so I was fighting that too which gave my obliques a small workout. These were probably the most work-out intensive things I did. The rest was minor shoveling, picking up rocks into a wheel barrow, cutting rebar and laying the rebar grid. I think I got 100 reps worth of something but still want to do more but I have to be up at 5:30 am for work and I just need a good rest because I normally don't start til 9, + it's normally office work.

As I went to post this, I said screw it, and I did 50 leg raises. I may not be able to do air squats, but it's so easy to do 100 reps on muscles that aren't sore.... (except pushups of course, I really hate those) After the leg raises, I got a pretty bad abdominal muscle cramp/spasm. Well it wasn't that bad, I was able to prevent the full tightness of it. I probably should have stretched before doing it.

Now dinner is done and I'm starving, so I have to finish the rest later. I don't want to leave this post just"pending" so you can call it 50 reps unless I come back and update, but I don't know how I'll feel after eating. Might want to just go straight to bed with a food coma.
