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

Assessment / request for advice: I'm getting overly familiar with this programme, that I've been following for some months now. 3 days a week; day1 triceps/chest, day2 biceps/back, day 3; legs/core/shoulder.
It's getting a bit repetetive, but mainly it feels fragmented. For instance I feel I'm getting too little legwork with only one legday a week. I want to up my number of workout days to 4 days a week and exercise more of my body at the time, doing fewer exercises and higher intensity than currently.
I'm thinking I want to exercise every other day, alternating upper body and lower body workouts. Anyone got any tips or suggestions as to how to build a program like this? I have some ideas, but input from someone with experience would be greatly appreciated.
I'm also interested in relevant literature.
I personally (before I got into my current split so prob. 4 months ago) changed from something really similar to your split to a five-day: Chest, HEAVY Legs, Biceps/Triceps/Forearms (possibly some shoulders), Back, and Shoulders/Legs split!
I'd recommend trying something like this out! I know that this isn't necessarily what you were looking for, but if you're interested, I REALLY recommend trying something like this out especially if you're used to a 3-day split!
PS. I know you said that you'd like to do 4 days/week and this is a five-day split, but still, in this split, the workouts are a lot shorter in length so it's basically like doing 4 days/week longer workouts :D! Also, this would mean that you're hitting your legs twice a week which is something you were looking for.
@rmsbodybuilding - did you see this question?
Challenge Completed! 100 Reps
On day 44 I again went for a moring run for a 3th day in a row and I'm starting to really like this routine. again I stepped it up a bit and increased the overall run distance a bit. I will continue this habit when the weather is good enough. I will also count just an even number for the fitness challenge. Below the minimum = 0, Day I meet the minimum = 100 reps, Days I do something Extra 200 reps, Days I go all out 300 Reps.
Your table is awesome.
TGIF
Today I am 100% up-voting everyone who posts a workout and who also up-votes @steemmatt's fitness challenge blog post. Celebrate with your good health and happiness.

@abdt - I think we're getting a bit too heavy on the cardio with your activity with respect to counting it all as reps. I don't know the intensity of your 6.5 hours of bike riding, and am sure it's a lot of work cumulatively, but 1,300 reps for riding a bike in one day is too much to count for reps here (plus other reps). I know you're very dedicated to your fitness, but this challenge is more geared toward reps like your push-ups and weights. I don't know the right answer, but working out for ~8 hours is a great deal when the goal is to put forth a solid 100+ workout reps. I counted 1,000 reps here for now.

Today's Challenge Completed
My Assessment
After a big body pump session yesterday, my muscles felt quite sore.
I decided to go for a swim as this always helps when I feel sore!
I just swam a nice and easy breast stroke for 30 minutes constantly doing lengths in the pool.
Nice diversity with the pool work here!
Thanks, I love to participate in different activities to keep things interesting and fun :)
Daily Challenge Complete - 100 Reps - Today I can feel soreness in my arms. It's something I've needed to feel for a while now (it tells me I'm doing something) so I'm glad I got it, which means a typical 100 rep rest day. Seems my abs hold up pretty well, so I went with that. (and some air squats). Will update the link as soon as I can get home to make the post. (busy night)
