More people are joining simply because they've SEEN this blog series, and wish they saw it sooner. In the spirit of helping others be healthy and join a supportive team, please help us by resteeming for visibility.

You know that exercise is important, so start with just one day of sharing 100 reps of your choice and go from there. We support each other every day, and we'll support you, so why not give it a try?

These people are creating their own original posts to prove their hard work. Please support their passion and dedication.

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.

• If you can't contribute yet, try to eat natural foods and stay well hydrated without the sugar for now.

• It's ok to start with a number you're comfortable with if you can't reach 100. You choose what exercises to do.

• 30 minutes of dedicated brisk walking, running, or SPINNING (new) can count as 100 reps if you're unable to lift or need to rest.

My Daily Challenge Completed - 105 reps:

-45 Upright Bar Rows (75 pounds) - new exercise
-35 Bar Shrugs (75 pounds)
-25 Behind-the-Back Wrist Bar Curls (75 pounds) - new exercise

Daily Assessment: I looked up other exercises I can do with my ez curl bar and realized that I forgot upright rows. These will help me rest other muscle groups more. I've been debating waiting on the gym and my Bowflex until we hit 60 days so I can tell the story that everything I did in my progress pics was from my 75 pound bar, some push-ups and some sit-ups. This can motivate people who think they have to go to the gym or need fancy equipment.

I've also been focusing a lot on hydration lately to make sure my body isn't tired from that. I ate a pound of ground turkey, a 5oz. bag of all natural chips (I know), and 3 servings of plain yogurt with 25g protein per serving. My drinks were a LOT of coconut water, 2 servings of a natural protein drink, and a kambucha multi-green tea.

Feedback from @mightpossibly:

"I'd also like to add that 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."

Please see my first post linked below for my motivation, the challenge background, rules, and details for the Steemit Silver Coin prize! It's also got some personal stuff about why I'm doing this, so it could be a good motivator.
