If you need inspiration to get back into a physical fitness routine, you should get involved here...
Thanks to everyone for sticking with their workouts and posting them here during Steemit's lull.
Daily exercise idea - Box Jumps
- Make sure the surface is study and stable!
- Have plenty of space around you so no one interferes.
- Swing arms upward as you jump.
- Absorb your landing on the box.
- Add height as you progress.
Example below. Please do your own research to confirm the proper mechanics.
*BONUS TIP - Don't ever do this...

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."
Please support our hard work and dedication and ask any questions in the comments below.
Please also resteem this new format/replace in your post links if you don't mind to try to get a fresh start on spreading the word on our challenge.
@steemmatt - I like the exercise gifs that you have been adding everyday. It adds to the post.

Working out lightly when sick isn't the worst thing, but it sure makes those reps feel like a ton and 5x harder than they should be. Those reps are probably 600 instead if you factor in a flu.

Woah - sorry I didn't see your entry somehow or you posted it just as I posted my new one. Excellent blog link with great detail and evidence.
The challenge is a daily event, so since we couldn't synch up here, please see my newest blog and put your daily reps for Tuesday or Wednesday depending on your time zone. One day's work per challenge post as a general guideline.
Hopefully you stay involved here as it'll be great to see your progress unfold. Let me know if you have any other questions.

You deserve recognition for your exercise for sure. Playing any sport for that long with a lot of distance covered isn't easy. However, getting 1,400 reps for your sport does skew the scale for others, and can make them seem like they're not contributing as much. I'm trying to keep this level enough for everyone to feel good about it. Please try to understand that I'm not trying to take away anything here. I'm trying to keep things balanced. Cardio work for 30 or 60 minutes was initially intended to be a filler for rest days when I started this, not a regular primary activity, but it's evolved to accommodate a variety of people. I try to be fair. I also need to make sure it's fair for all. I'm struggling to find the happy medium where people who do extended cardio are happy, but I try to remember this isn't as much of a cardio challenge as it is a rep challenge.
For example, I've counted peoples' skiing, biking, yoga, hiking, and running, etc., because that's their sole activity for their workout. If you ran for 17 km as an isolated event, it wouldn't take anywhere near 7 hours, so the time playing the game is sort of inflating the rep total via hour duration to a point it's making people who go to the gym for a full workout look like they did barely anything. I played 6.5 hours of baseball the other day, but consider that incidental exercise and only counted it as 100 reps for me. I ran a ton and did all types of work, but it was a recreational thing in my mind, not for exercise.
