Hard work by 14 Steemians for 3,804 reps today (187,942 overall), done across 31 people from 9 countries in 84 days! I modestly crossed over my first 10K reps.
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. Please 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 handle weights.
I'll award 1 SBD for every individual 10,000 rep milestone. (8 SBD paid out)
I manually process and update all cumulative figures daily. Not easy...
Conditions:
- Weights not required.
- Do real reps with good form, aiming for 100+.
- Start your reply with "Challenge Completed".
- Reply with the type of exercises and # of reps for each in a list.
- Cumulative tallies appreciated as a separate line.
- Only submit reps you've done, not ones you're planning to do.
- Use the tag "fitnesschallenge".
- Upvoting or resteeming is appreciated to reach more people.
Advice:
- Stretch before and after your exercise.
- Breathe properly on each rep.
- Quality over quantity.
- Hydrate throughout and afterwards.
- Eat a healthy snack with protein after.
- Do exercises you enjoy at first to build momentum for harder ones.
- Take before pictures to appreciate your results over time.
- Feel good about your accomplishments.
My Daily Challenge Completed - 105 reps:
-40 Straight Leg Bar Deadlifts (75 pounds)
-40 Shoulder Bar Presses (75 pounds)
-25 Shoulder Bar Raises (75 pounds)
My Daily Assessment:
-Nothing fancy to report. I didn't eat enough for a second straight day and need to fix this tomorrow. I'll be playing tennis again on Saturday and likely a baseball scrimmage, so I'll need to be fueled up for that on top of these reps to keep growing

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."

Stepping it up a bit with those legs I see!! I love it!! Good weight progression!! It's Best to start low and focus on your form before jumping into heavy lifts! It will help you build that core strength and muscular endurance and then you will be able to have so much more power with your lifting!! Keep Pushing!! ;-)

Thanks. I'd do more, but I don't have any more weight in my apartment (except my Bowflex Revolution which has laundry on it). I had a 10 pound plate but lost the other one, which I just found!! Now I can do 95 pounds as a small uptick.

That is a great start! Control the tempo(speed) of your movements and you will get a lot more out of lighter weights, meaning they will feel heavy without actually being heavy!! 😉 Go for 3 count down, pause at the bottom 2 secs, the 3 count up (or 1 count if looking for power) ....Im speaking of deadlifts but this can be done for any lift. The concentric and eccentric movements are so much more effective when controlled.😊

Nahhhh, 75 pounds is light. It's just building up some endurance before I start facing my fear of bad gym music.

It may be light, but its still weight. I have a few weights at home and haven't started going to Crossfit yet. But I know that those weights are going to destroy me since I've been doing workouts with low weights.

I feel you. The music at the gym on wedensday was absolutely horrible. They had a spinning class with techno music and a lady constantly screaming in a microphone (I did not attend but I heard it all)
Luckily it isn't always that bad...

TGIF - I am upvoting everyone here today to support your week of dedication to health, fitness and fun. That is in addition to your blog posts which I try to do some of these as well during the week.

Hi - others have asked about jumping rope and it's been treated as cardio. Obviously 500 jumps is nothing to sneeze at, but I haven't been counting them as 1 for 1 reps. Not to take away from it, but this is more in the ballpark of 30 minutes of cardio for 100 reps to keep it the same across the board for everyone. That ok with you?

Daily challenge completed - 185 reps
Part 1 - 72 reps:
2 rounds
12 squats
4 walk outs
6 baby makers
4 Incheon worms
5 wall squats
5 burpee
Part 2 - 113 reps:
In a 12 minute window, Complete:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 reps of:
Double dumbbell squat (50 lbs)
Bar facing burpee
Then in the remaining time find 1rm clean
The squat and burpee part was damage control for me. My goal was just to buy enough time for a few good lifts on the clean. Got 3 lifts at about 84%, 89% and 95% of my max with my heart rate in the orange/red zone so not too bad.

Thanks. Very slow and steady. For only 10K reps (including some cardio), I'm pretty happy with the gains. I don't think I could've put much more muscle on if I went to the gym and double.
