Steemit Daily 100+ Rep Fitness Challenge & Exercise Idea - Day 116

in #fitness7 years ago (edited)

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...

Daily Update:

  • 10 Steemians contributed 3,085 daily reps for 4/01/18.

Overall Summary:

  • 328,777 overall by 44 Steemians from 12 countries in 115 workout days.
  • I can only upvote so much without exhausting my voting power daily, so please help me reward their effort.

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. (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.

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.

Challenge Completed - 100 reps

Noticable difference since my last cardio session :D
I think a 6 km run in 30 mins should be 200 reps :P

Agree with 200 reps....IMHO.

Crap - I forgot about this veto here until now, well after I published everything. I missed it when doing the initial counts.

Haha I'm happy with a hundred.
Don't wanna break the bank ;)

Great work! I see you stayed consistent with your cardio.

Haha yeah I skipped one cardio day, but this is the most cardio I have done for a while :)
Welcome back

That is so awesome! Keep working hard, you'll start shredding weight like crazy with cardio.

Thanks m8 yeah I'm really motivated with my cardio lately :)
Will be ready for marathons in no time

Nice I will be running another half marathon in a few weeks. Glad I motivated you to kill those cardio workouts.

Nice maybe by then I will be pumping out 7 km for my 30 min run :)
Yeah I need a bit of motivation to do cardio, not my favorite.

Challenge completed - 129 reps

Hush money means hush please.

I’m back!!!!!
Finally feeling good. I’m glad you are here to motivate me while I was down.

Glad you're feeling better. I read your post a few weeks ago to see what you're dealing with. You have the heart of a champion...

Thank you. I felt like a loser though, I need to rebuild my strength, but I will get there.
thanks for this thread, It helps me to stay motivated.

218 today!! Trained legs with my trainer. He had me doing some exercises that were out of my comfort zone which was awesome and miserable at the same time Lol!!! Ill be posting about it later today!

Well done. I've actually come to start liking legs workouts after a lifetime of hating them. If I had to do legs with a trainer though, I'd punch him.

Hahaha!! It's not too bad. I'm learning a lot of new stuff and variations of exercises I know. Turns out my lunging form was off a bit and I would never have known without him. Its always good to have a form check up from time to time and to learn something new.

Daily Challenge Complete - 200 reps - Took a stroll around my city tonight. Wasn't in the mood. It was snowing too but I needed to cool off anyways.
