This community health initiative with tons of effort from diligent Steemians needs some help! ...We're also about to cross 400,000 team exercise reps!
The Challenge:
At least 100 honest reps of your choice of exercise every day. No excuses. No bullsh*t. Just actions, positivity, results and progress. Only post AFTER your reps are done. Always support each other. Full guidelines and conditions below.
Daily exercise idea (not a requirement) - Pull-Up
- Make sure the bar you're using is SECURE! (Don't fall to make a gif for the web)
- Do not rock or kick for momentum! Use your back and arms to pull you up.
- Various grips and widths target different regions.
- Do your own research to confirm the mechanics.
*BONUS TIP - never do this:
Daily Update:
- 15 Steemians contributed 5,148 daily reps.
- Thanks for your support.
Overall Summary:
- 389,922 overall by 48 Steemians from 12 countries in 125 workout days.
- I can only upvote so much without exhausting my voting power daily, so please help me reward their effort.
Challenge Overview:
- 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. (18 SBD paid out)
- I run the numbers daily which is sometimes harder than my reps.
Conditions:
- Weights not required.
- Do real reps, use 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.
- Try to upvote as many contributors as possible to motive each other.
Advice:
- Stretch before and after.
- Breathe properly on each rep.
- Quality over quantity.
- Eat a healthy snack after/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 Squats (75 pounds)
-25 Bar Shrugs (75 pounds)
My Daily Assessment:
I seemed to have a muscle strain or ligament issue in the front of my right shoulder from pitching, so I have to figure out work out around it to keep exercising, but also let it heal.

From @musclegirlfusion:
"Since I started posting in this challenge, you've given me a reason to blog on steemit. No matter how discouraged I get when it seems like no one is reading what I write, I know I can write it and post it here and it adds to the challenge. So thank you for giving me the motivation I need to stick with blogging!!"
From @bitfiend:
"After starting 6 days ago I already feel stronger. This is definitely the most consistent exercise I've done in an extremely long time but I am happy to be taking part! While I walk around mostly in pain, I know it's all for a good cause! My health! I am feeling better and I'd say my sickness is mostly gone now. I think that if I had not been exercising, I may have been sick for a bit longer. Persistence pays off!"
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."
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."
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."
