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."
Please support our hard work and dedication and ask any questions in the comments below.
I will be upvoting everyone who posts a workout today. For many reasons. One new one .....
Today is Akshaya Tritiya (Day of Lasting Achievements). On this day, both the sun, and the moon, the 2 luminaries, are exalted according the the ancient vedic system called Jyotish. They are the most prominent of all the nine planets and only once a year are they both simultaneously in a state of exaltation where they give maximum beneficial influence.
It is a very good day to start new ventures, to give to charity, to help others, and generally to do good. If you don't believe in Jyotish astrology that is fine. It is always a good day to give to others. Cheers.
Not really into any kind of astrology but I really hope this is true (just launched a big business project) :D!
Good Luck. There is no guarantee to success as there are so many karmas involved. This however, give you a little edge in greater support from nature.
I love this and would love to learn more!!! Definitely giving you a follow! Love finding like-minded people :D
@mgood you are such a selfless person and I love how you support everyone.

No gym for me lastnight me old sunshines. Had to do my minnow comp which takes a fair amount of time as I go and read blog posts from contestants then do draw and giveaways.
@thevillan - you get an upvote for all of the workouts you usually do. And today is an excellent day to select the winner of your contest and make a giveaway.
Thanks @mgood I appreciate that :)
How is that minnow competition going? Are you already done with your previous minnow?
It's going good m8, really great feeling helping others on their steemit journey.
I have released my first minnow @happysmileyman was great to support him.
That's awesome your such a good dude ,and its amazing how you are supporting others.

Matt if you need to push back payments or increase reps to get things working for payout I'm fine with that.
I work at home but this kinda want me to get a gym membership! Cool challenge! Upvoted :)
It's definitely worth it :)!
You don't need gym membership. Your body is your tool. I have done numerous workouts with just my body weight. Jump in you'll love the team!
Last 2 days i done 1000 reps by walking....
Today i complete 400 reps...
For such a substantial amount of walking reps, could you please provide some detail on your trips? Time, terrain, any apps to show a pic of your trail, etc.?
1000 reps... Isn't that like 5 hours of walking :O?
