My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:
75 Russian Twists (10 pounds)
25 Bicep Bar Curls (75 pounds)
My Daily Assessment:
I seemed to have a muscle strain or ligament issue in the front of my right shoulder from pitching, so I have to figure out work out around it to keep exercising, but also let it heal.

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."

Daily Challenge Complete - 190 reps - Was a placeholder as I didnt get home in time but it's getting increasingly difficult to post on time when you're about to post the next one. Not sure how to resolve this without missing the final count unless I make a placeholder comment (at least I got the reps in)

Daily Rep Challenge : 200 reps.
I am so hardcore sore today... gonna struggle with my workouts tonight.
Yesss love hip thrusts!! My current trainer said I was the first girl he has trained who was able to use the 45lb bar... and then some.. earlier this week I hit 95lbs 12 times with ease. Its a "health club" so there aren't many women there like me.
Anywho, today was a rest day and was actually warm in Chicago so I went for a walk around the city for an hour. 100 reps. It felt good to get out and was really hard to go back to work.
Here's a nice view of my walk to the train station after work along the Chicago River.
Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:
75 Russian Twists (10 pounds)
25 Bicep Bar Curls (75 pounds)
Daily Challenge completed - 266 reps
20 minutes Metcon
KB Swing 32 kg
3 - 6 - 9 reps
47 sets = 266 reps
warmup and cooldown not counted
so basically this is 20min kettlebell swing?
Yes. I break it into 4 parts. I do 3 Swings, make a mark, do 6 reps, make a mark, do 9 reps and make a mark. After 5 minutes I start with 3 reps, and so on. Aim is to create the same number of repetitions in all sections.

ok thanks. It looks easy, asking because I wanted to make sure I did not get it wrong, I did 20 min kettlebell snatch(24kg) do r10/l10, make a mark. (240 reps)
Wow. 20 minutes snatch with 24 kg is amazing. You can almost take the test for the secret service.
The swings with 32 kg are already very strenuous for me in this number. I had done a 5 minutes snatch-test last week. 104 repetitions with 18 kg.
if you are talking about 5 min 100 reps snatch(24 kg) test-it is a good warm-up for me.
