Daily Update: 16 Steemians for 5,756 reps today for a new max (252,954 overall by 40 people from 10 countries in 101 workout 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. (11 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)
-50 Squats (75 pounds)
(Also 3 hours of a baseball scrimmage - light activity - not counted)

My Daily Assessment:

My baseball scrimmage today was my first time swinging a bat vs live pitching since last Summer. I also pitched 2 solid innings. I hit well in 4 at bats in roughly 35-40 degree weather, with no strikeouts. My legs felt great underneath me when swinging and playing the field. I don't know about my speed yet, but I feel strong. I hit some decently fast pitchers in cold weather, meaning my hand speed must be in good shape for my first time out. I lifted legs after since I anticipated my upper body being sore from the pitching as it usually is for the first few times of the year.

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."

Todays workout.

Leverage decline chest press. 3 sets of 10 reps
Incline dumbbell fly. 3 sets of 10 reps

Daily Challenge Completed - 250 reps

Did my usual workout.

25 pull ups
50 chin ups
50 one arm push ups
50 incline push ups
25 dips
50 squats

How long does it take you do get through 25L/25R one-armed push-ups?

I assume it takes about a minute per set and a minute of rest.
5 sets 5-10 minutes but I don't do them all at once. I do one set and then move on to the next exercise.
