Roll Call To Join The Steem Daily 100 Rep Fitness Challenge Of 50 Push-ups & 50 Air Squats - Day 3

(Edited)

It's time to get in gear. If we don't leverage our health while we have it, we could be kicking ourselves down the line.

I hope my challenge will appeal to people who've been struggling to find their niche or motivation on Steem lately, as well as give them more reason to help themselves and support others.

Excuses do nothing except hold us back from success. Period.

Stop waiting for change and start making some for the better today.

*If you're interested and have legitimate reasons why 50 push-ups and 50 squats aren't possible (even if modified), please respond with a fair challenge you can commit to and we'll get behind you.


Here's proof of my third day of the challenge: 50 Push-ups and 50 Air Squats done in 4:25.

These reps were only 16 hours after my last set because I'll be out for the rest of the day/night. No complaints. The work had to be done. Confusing my body is also a good way to promote growth.

The push-ups were tough because I was sore, but the squats were getting easier. I did a full set of 50 squats to get those out of the way. Tons of baseball has kept my legs in shape. A few more days of push-ups and I'll be able to smoothly hammer them out. I feel good after these reps.

I weighed in before the video at just under 195 pounds.


Participation so far: 4 Steemians from 4 countries for 710 reps.

Day 1:
Day 2:

I'm nominating @mamalikh13 from Iran, @jasonshick from China, and @lordcarlo297 from Aruba to dive in and get on board. -> *Please see this link from the kickoff post for details.

Everyone please support and encourage the team here.

Make sure you go 90 degrees with your elbows and legs, with your back straight, on each rep.

Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. This will be far from all I do on most days.


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. Put the human back into fitness with this team and you will see and feel the results.

Rep on,
@steemmatt

Hey, just post a screen shot or two if that helps. I believe you. If it's going to be too hard to upload video, don't worry. It's more about just showing your engagement so people can start to support you more.

Exactly. I'm still pushing through the warm up phase, but that's the goal for when I'm conditioned properly. In the military, this is virtually nothing, and something done before a 10 mile rucksack hike.

You'll be representing your country like the Olympics. Everyone is counting on you!! For starters, we're sticking with 50 push-ups and 50 squats daily, as often as you'd like. Once the movement catches on again, I'll start mixing it up more and opening the rep choices up. I prefer to keep it a little more structured than last time because many people had low impact reps in their workouts that weren't the same difficulty as what others were producing, and it was getting tough to police that fairly.

I did a few squats and pushups today to blow off the cobwebs. I'll start adding reps over the next few days. DOMS isn't my thing. I avoid it all costs and have done since I stopped bodybuilding nearly 30years ago. So after a few days I should be good to go.

The key is that you're taking action and getting into gear. Do what you can handle. This is a good sign though!!

I swear to God. This is difficult. NY shoulder aches but no pain no gain. Will do a quick one before my exam tomorrow.

If you have real pain, rest or just do squats. If it's just soreness, make sure you're drinking plenty of water and eating well. You can also split it up into smaller sets throughout the day so it's not as draining. I admire your tenacity. It's keeping me accountable.

Hey, not really keen on daily videos, but in solidarity, here is mine for today from Gondar, Ethiopia. I was doing pushups every day until I got a pinched nerve, but seems to be resolved, so rock on. The squats weren't a problem with all the hiking I've been doing. I will definitely feel the pushups in the morning though.

Time 5:07
Push-ups: 25 - 12 - 8 - 5
Air Squats: 25 -25

Hell yeah. Videos aren't necessary. I'm just going to do them to help motivate, but I trust people will do the work. Thanks for getting on board. Feel free to hammer out sets and reply when you can. The challenge will adjust after some time elapses and there's a good team assembled. Well done.

Cool then. Thanks for giving me excuse to get back on the wagon! I have some Bodylastics bands and a jump rope I've been lugging around I need to start using again too. I'll start that up when I get to kenya in a few days.
