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."
Rep on,
@steemmatt

Wow... I can't even do one handstand push-up properly :D! Good job!
It’s not so hard if you start off using an an mat or two to limit the range of motion a little. Kipping makes them easier strength wise, but it takes a bit of practice to get the timing right.

Handstand push up!! Geez your a ladybeast!!!

I need to work on my balance before I even attempt to do a handstand push up. LOL
Welcome! Looking forward to your contributions and advice as we go along. If posting here helps you squeeze out a few extra reps, that's what it's all about.
Daily Challenge Completed - 120 reps
Punched out a heap of pull ups, push ups and tricep dips... with a small amount of jump rope in there to keep everything warmed up.
Jump roping is the sh*t!
Hi everyone! The very excellent @mrgood suggested I add this video in here to kind of explain what I'm training for. I'm training to try and get on the TV show American Ninja Warrior... here is a video of me competing in Australian Ninja Warrior Season 1. I got to the Semi-Finals that year, but I'm way stronger now so I'd love another shot.
Anywho, here is my qualifying run:
WOW AWESOMEEE!!
That was great. Good luck in your upcoming event.

I hope that someone out there is inspired and motivated with my daily post. I would love to hear people success stories so please comment them below.
@steemmatt does that mean your going to join my #50squatchallenge? LOL
Yes. Yes. Yes. I'll be a regular. Just cooling off my legs before I start chipping away.

My Assessment
I practiced yoga in the sunshine and it was beautiful :D That's all I did for the day!
Counted 200 reps here FYI. Still owe you the numbers you asked for. A bit backlogged, but will certainly follow through.
Daily challenge completed
150 push-ups...its my hobby without it i am nothing..
150 sit stand
walk for 3 hour
bike ride in gym 2,5 hrs
bike ride on road (today only)2.5 hrs
Are you a professional cyclist? 5 hours on a bike and 3 hours walking is a LOT!!! It's hard to count all of these as reps because the focus is supposed to be on weights/gym work, where cardio is a "rest day" kind of thing if you don't lift, but I can see you're doing a lot of hard work. I'm going to cap this at 1,100 reps to be fair to everyone else who is doing gym workouts.
A little late on this post:
40 Curls (20lb, 40 total)
40 Leg raises (40lbs)
20 Tricep Curls (20lb, 40 total)
No problem. By tricep curls, do you mean extensions?
**Daily Challenge Completed- 250 reps
3km cycling
Challenge complete 1 hr 52 minutes = 300 reps

I do 100 squat jumps in the morning after the walk to the local high School and 100 in the gym with 5 sets of 20 reps. Sorry couldn't make a video and the reason is already explained. @rmsbodybuilding
I have been doing it since almost 3 years .
Hey m8, I think your mistaking cardio for reps.
high knees, jumping jacks and squat jumps are cardio.
also what weight are you doing for some of your other exercises?
I agree I made the same mistake when I used to jump rope.
I don't agree mate. Squat jumps are pure exercise. Don't mix them with cardio, it's included in almost every legs exercise. I use mostly moderate to heavy weight eg for chest bench barbell press 4 sets of 60,70,80,90 weight
