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
and what a change it has brought! More energy and feeling fit. I haven't felt this good in a long time so I am very thankful for this group and what you've started here!

Challenge Completed! 200 Reps
Day 45 was all about being active extending my by now routine moring run a bit more, doing a couple exersises during the day and having a 2 hour outdoor late night tennis session with a friend. Something I will test out at least the next couple of days will be to focus on specific reps and do a lot of the in a day so I actually feel it the day after.
ahh Daily challenge completed
i did my best and more..
200 reps in push ups
200 sit stand
500 shoulder exercise
500 hand exercise
2.5 hr bike ride in jym
3 hr fully race on road
That's a lot of reps. What are hand exercises and sit stands?
sir sit stands look like
hand exercise is
Any reason you don't do squats instead? What is the benefit of standing from a seated position?
I don't know if I can count the hand squeeze reps as 500. I understand that you did them (not sure of the resistance difficulty), but counting them as one rep each just doesn't seem fair for the competition. I'll say 150 reps for now. How long does it take you to do the 500 total? Both hands at the same time?
I have used hand grips many times over the years, I think it would be fair to say for 500 would = 100 reps. They do get tiring and work the hands and for arms really well. But they are not as strenuous as a half hour run and could smash out 500 in like 10 mins easy.
But 150 reps would be a good call too m8 :)
Thank you. I'm going to cap this as 1,300 reps. You are one VERY active person!! I wish I had your energy.
it is my every day exercise sir in jym
