in #health7 years ago (edited)

I tried to make this post easier on the eyes to attract more readers and save time on some of the manual work. Let me know what you think or if you have other ideas.

Daily Update: 11 Steemians for 2,730 reps today (222,236 overall by 32 people from 9 countries in 94 days).

The Challenge:

At least 100 honest reps of exercise every day. No excuses. No bullsh*t. Just actions, positivity, and results. Only post AFTER your reps are done. Always support each other.

  • You choose what types of exercise reps to do.
  • 30 minutes of fitness walking, running, spinning, biking, cross-country skiing, etc., can count as 100 reps if you need to rest or can't use weights.
  • I'll award 1 SBD for every 10,000 rep milestone you hit. (10 SBD paid)
  • I run the numbers daily which is sometimes harder than my reps.

Conditions:

  • Weights not required.
  • Do real reps with good form, aiming for 100+.
  • Start your reply with "Challenge Completed".
  • Reply with a list of the exercises and reps you did.
  • Cumulative tallies are appreciated as a separate line.
  • Only submit reps you've done, not ones you're planning to do.
  • Use the tag "fitnesschallenge" on associated posts.
  • Upvoting or resteeming is appreciated to reach more.

Advice:

  • Stretch before and after exercise.
  • Breathe properly on each rep.
  • Quality over quantity.
  • Eat a healthy snack after and stay hydrated.
  • Start with exercises you enjoy to build up for harder ones.
  • Take before pictures to appreciate results over time.
  • Feel good about your accomplishments.

My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:

-50 Calf Bar Raises (75 pounds)
-25 Bar Shrugs (75 pounds)

My Daily Assessment:

Saw some friends for the first time in a while last night and they were pretty damn shocked to see my development from al of these reps. Trying to figure out how to improve this blog and get us all more attention. I'll keep tweaking the layout.

Feedback from @mightpossibly:

"I find it deeply satisfying to do these reps, which is a big deal. I've always hated the gym and prefer to exercise at home. But I've lacked the discipline to do it. It sort of feels like I have gym buddies now, without the hassle of going to the gym."

Feedback from @notorious562:

"I seriously cannot explain how much this group pushes and motivate me to keep working harder. I love this fitness community and the support and encouragement will help us achieve our goals."

Feedback from @khufu:

"Your challenge has helped immensely to keep me motivated lately. I've had a lot of... problems going on so your challenge has been a quantum of sanity in an insane world for me."

Please support our hard work and dedication and ask any questions in the comments below.

Please also resteem this new format if you don't mind to try to get a fresh start on spreading the word on our challenge.

Good morning/afternoon/evening everyone, its a monday morning where I'm at. My phone was dead all through yesterday because in my country its a thing for there to be power outage the whole day.
Sunday Challenge was completed with 60 push ups, 54 squats and 5 minutes(60reps)abs exercise. Total is 174 reps

While this morning, I did 50 push ups, 3minutes abs exercise(36 reps) and 50 squats, total is 136 reps.

Total total= 310 reps for past two days.

@steemmatt - Excellent new format. The graphs really make it easier to see what is going on.

Daily Challenge Completed - 310 reps
Physical
200 reps - Walking 30 minutes X 2; includes down and up elevation of 300 ft
5 reps - yoga asanas - 5 min X 2
5 reps - pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) 5 min X 2

Mental
100 reps = 1+ hours X 2 Transcendental Meditation and advanced TM-Sidhi (morning and evening)
(All reps from yesterday and night)

Challenge Completed.

Daily Challenge for Sunday (apologies if I'm posting in the wrong day):

1.5 hours of Parkour training.
I think 100 reps works for this training... it's very stop start... you basically sprint for 10 seconds and rest for 20-30 while other people have a turn. It's brutally exhausting at times, and not so hard at other times.

As long as you're not posting two workouts for two different days on the same post, it'll all level out. 100 reps is more than fair.

I was watching basic Parkour moves on YouTube the other day to try to learn a few to impress my friends. I wish they had a place you could practice where there was padding and it was idiot-proof.

It's pretty fun, but yeah, I'm nowhere near any level to take it outside just yet.
There's a few parkour gyms around... maybe Google it? The place I go has a huge range of demographics that go to it... everything from kids to a bunch of older women, it's pretty great.

Everyone is killing there biceps with preacher curls. Great work brother!

Thanks man! My motivation was peaked a bit after this weekend when my girlfriend pointed out that she could tell a difference in my arms. After that, I was just thinking, "Yeeaaaas, time to blast these suckas!" haha

Ha ha that's what sparks me too! When people notice your gains can defitely pump one up! Good stuff!

Nice! Don't know how you typed this all out after that many curls though.

I'm not gonna lie... washing my hair and putting on my shirt proved tiresome hahaha

Hey Matt,
I kinda am digging the new setup. It is a bit easier to follow along with the graphs. But you know me I am just easing going and will go with the majority. Its your page and baby whatever you decide I am cool with.
If it makes your life easier I would say run with it though.


Daily Challenge Complete- Monday 3.12.18
Today's workout:
Push Ups-80
Hammer Curls-100
Tricep extension-135
Flys w/20 LB-50

My Notes:
Yesterday, I ran 9.3 miles in the rain was super pumped. I used today as a "rest day," but still decided to kill a few reps. I have been consistent with my workouts and I challenge everyone to take a look at @steemmatts daily challenge to help get and stay motivated.

I also am doing a 50 push up challenge in which I have already destroyed over 2,100 push ups in less than a month. I am still trying to get more people involved so if your interested please let me know at @notorious562 and use #50pushupchallenge so I can support you on your journey.

Gotcha on the push-ups. I really don't do too many unless I'm away from my weights, but I'll try to chip in here and there.

I would greatly appreciate your contributions. You have definitely motivated me to continue updating my 50 push up challenge. Hope all is well brother!

I like the new format Matt!

Challenge completed 145 reps
Gymnastics practice

Challenge completed - 720 reps

That graph at the bottom is cool showing the daily team reps, steadily increasing over time. Will we one day see 100, 000 daily reps?

You are killing it! Life is back to normal for me back to work. I am still trying to average 500 reps a day. Keeping working hard brother.

Thanks bud, yeah I have been a bit on and off lately, but was good to smash out a solid session last night :D
500 reps is a good day, even350 - 400 is still a solid workout if your lifting heavy
