**Big news - I FAILED to meet my OWN challenge for the first time in 118 days. Sadly it wasn't intentional, but I had to be honest. I wound up staying out late and accidentally passed out when I got home to miss my workout. @rmsbodybuilding is now the undisputed ironman champion. Shame shame shame, on me.
The Challenge:
At least 100 honest reps of your choice 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. See rules below.
Daily exercise idea (not a requirement for the challenge) - Lower Back Extensions
- Can hold weights across chest to increase difficulty.
- Stretching before and during is very important!
- Secure ankles.
- Do not bounce up and down.
- Stop if you feel any abnormal pain.
Example below. Please do your own research to confirm the proper mechanics.
*BONUS TIP - Please don't ever do this...
Daily Update:
- 17 Steemians contributed 6,381 daily reps for 4/04/18.
Overall Summary:
- 347,300 overall by 45 Steemians from 12 countries in 118 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. (16 SBD paid out)
- 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.
- Try to upvote as many contributors as possible to motive each other.
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 Assessment:
My best friend invited me out and we stayed out far later than expected, and I accidentally fell asleep when I got home to miss my first workout in 118 days. Damn!!

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.

Well I go for the treadmill for 10 minutes keeping an inclination of 4 and speed of 8.7km/hr, then I go for cross strainer for 10 minutes and after that I do cycling for 10 minutes, I usually burn 200-250 calories, then I do a little bit exercise in order to reduce my belly.

It definitely wasn't one of my better workouts. I've been MIA after spending the last week in the hospital visiting with my grandpa. We thought we were going to lose him this past weekend, but he pulled through. It's been quite the emotional roller coaster for us. Between the mental and physical exhaustion of not getting a good night sleep, and when I do sleep, it's sitting up-right in a chair, I didn't really expect to be able to crush a workout. I did push through though and was able to put in a little bit of work before calling it a day.

On the day I failed my challenge, you going above and beyond is giving me one heck of a guilt trip now. Best of luck with his recovery.

Noooo.... No guilt trip was intended! Thankfully he's still with us and he's improved from the state that he was in. They've actually pulled him out of the ICU, though they're keeping a close eye on him, which was quite the blessing and a medical turnaround that shocked the doctors.
