New feedback 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!!"
New feedback 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!"
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."
Feedback 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."

I do "wood choppers" with heavy Indian clubs all the time as part of my warmup, they're a great full body exercise.
I hope I'm posting on the correct post.
My training for 24th March
67 km MTB bike ride, 15 minutes Indian clubs swinging & 60 snatches with a 32kg Kettlebell.
Thanks for validating those choppers.
Wow. That's a long trip. How long were you riding for in hours? Or how many reps is good?
It took just over 2 &1/2 hours Matt.
I'm not sure how you'd convert it to reps. I'd be happy with 50 reps as that would get me past the 100 mark if I include the Kettlebell snatches I did.
Wow, impressive with your ligament issues. Let's say 300 reps for the biking since that distance is no joke. 360 total.
Daily Challenge Completed - 305 reps
Physical
200 reps - Walking 30 minutes X 2; includes down and up elevation of 300 ft
10 reps - yoga asanas - 10 min X 2
5 reps - pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) 5 min X 2
Mental
100 reps = 1+ hours X 2 Transcendental Meditation and advanced TM-Sidhi (morning and evening)
(All reps from yesterday and night)
And 1 hour of ping pong which I'll count as just for fun. I haven't played in decades but some friends talked me into it so I'm back. It actually is an aerobic exercise if one plays competitively as there is constant, quick movement and every part of the body is involved. I did break into a sweat. Cheers.
Daily Challenge Completed 322 reps
CHALLENGE FAILED?!?!
Nah, it was a typo and really 322 reps. Scared me that you did some weird 32 crazy gladiator combination exercises that would really be like 5,000 reps.
sorry, I didn't want to scare you so much :) it is a typo. clean and jerk is kind of crazy gladiator combination exercise(deadlift, pull, jump, squat, half squat, jump, press, lunge) but I count it as one rep.
Challenge completed - 910 reps
Another monster workout for me, damn pre workout lol.
200 reps matty, I think that's a record. Keep it up :)
40k reps!? That's some milestone.
Yeah it's pretty cool that I have done so many in a short amount of time. Should easily crack 100,000 in a year :D

Daily Challenge Completed - 200 reps:
-100 Push-ups (for @notorious562)
-90 mins of walking (counted as 100 reps)
Saturday was huge for me. I'm getting closer to my target. Challenge complete: 924 reps.
You better have a ton of protein after that.
Can you explain the leg stuff a bit more and abs stuff? Just want to make sure the reps aren't more in line with cardio. No complaints, but just want to try understand so I can keep this structure.
The leg exerces focus on the abs and thighs
I'll get YouTube links or something, its the reason I wanted to make gifs
Daily challenge completed - 120 reps
Did a lot of mobility and technique work for about an hour or so. Finished off with a kind of conversational pace emom style workout as pictured. Counting the GHD sit ups, back extensions and squats makes it out to 120 reps.
My legs, shoulders and back feels really sore after last night. No “explosiveness” left. A slow and light day was really needed today.
Today I will again upvote everyone here who posts a workout - reps total to acknowledge everyone's dedication to exercise and health. 100% up-vote which is only $.03 now. It would be much better if the price of Steem went back up to $8 to $10. Let's all desire for that.
Have a great weekend!
Challenge Completed (200 reps)
Taught and performed a 1 hour FitCamp today! Loadd of fun and plenty of sweat to go around!

Damn man. Are you bionic or a fitness model???!
The only thing I'm trying to reduce from people's counts is the high knees since I feel they're a running/cardio thing. With that in mind, 1,204 reps killing your core and abs is impressive beyond what I can do.
Daily Challenge completed - 207 reps

20 Minutes (4 x 5, no rest) of Kettlebell Swing, Clean, Thruster

My grandson made a work of art during my Metcon ;-)
You've got a budding mathematician.
No rest... I got tired just thinking of doing that.
Daily Challenge Completed - 160 Reps - I feel a difference in effort. Like, less effort needed for what I'm doing, while it took more effort 10 - 11 days ago.
585 rep today at my university.
Thanks. Cardio is in 100 rep intervals, so if you did weights or other reps, could you share. Ideally, we'd like to see a list of what you do, especially when it's so many reps. How'd you calculate this?
Hi @soumon - for me to count these reps (just because I'd like to know a little bit more about you and what you're doing to qualify these), can you please explain this more? Any pictures, posts, time, distance, types of activity?
Challenge completed - 250 reps:
Burns out those shoulders. I can just imagine.

Flat Bench - 4x5

Fear the beard gets more weight to it when you're banging out big chest workouts to go along with it.
Physical fitness is too much important for life many people didn't maintain the rules of Health and Fitness category and they will face something bigger problem and they will be going to the doctors advice and doctor say fitness was the top part of human life.
Let's see you follow your own advice with some reps please!!
