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."

Weekend's Challenge Completed
My Assessment
The weather turned really grey over the last few days. I decided to relax a bit and just go on power walks.
Tomorrow I will get back to the hard workouts! :)
It's ok to take it easier when you feel like it :D Just don't make a habit of it ;)
The weather has been even grayer than normal this weekend in Finland! And of course, it started raining like hell when I went on a run :D!
Welldone!!! Yes I shouldn't really use the weather as an excuse, but i've been living in hot countries for the last 4 years, so this grey European weather has been a struggle!! Eagerly waiting for some British sunshine!!! :)
Today I did cardio for an hour, cross strainer for 30 minutes, cycling for 30 minutes, then I did 80 reputation of abs after that I did 120 reputations in jumps.
What type of jumps? On a box? Want to make sure it's not a cardio activity.
Daily challange completed: 500 reps
Walking in the road beside my campus.
Todays challange completed
Triceps workout
Total reps 210
Challenge completed : 100 reps
100 jumping jacks
To touch on this early on, usually jumping jacks are cardio and not the same as 100 reps of running or walking. 100 jumping jacks can be done in under 5 minutes, so it's not really a 1 for 1 rep. I'll count this one, but I'm sure you'd understand for fairness that some people run/bike/swim/yoga for 30 minutes and that's more of the 100 rep concept.
Thank you for that @steemmatt, I will try to add/increase my exercise :)
