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 completed - 144 reps
Part 1: Handstand push-ups - 36 reps
3 rounds of doing 4 strict HSPU every minute, with 1 minute of rest between rounds.
Part 2: Deadlift - 18 reps
Plan was to build to a heavy non max set of 3 within 15 minutes. I was working out alone for a change and decided to spend a bit of extra time on this segment and go for a heavier set.
100x3
140x3
180x3
200x3
210x3
220x3
I believe that is a new 3 rep max. The highest I can find in my logs is 3x215 from last year. It is also interesting to note that my max has gone up almost without doing any heavy deadlifts. I did a moderately heavy set of 5 about a month ago, and before that I had a 6 month endurance cycle where I at most lifted about 50% of my max.
Part 3: conditioning - 90 reps
This was supposed to be as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
60 double under
30 wall balls
15 deadlifts (245 lbs/110 kg)
I was so taxed after maxing out my deadlift earlier that I only did 2 rounds and called it a day.
What was your 1 rep max for the deadlift?
100 reps:
25 Shoulder Bar Presses (75 pounds)
25 Bicep Bar Curls (75 pounds)
25 Bar Squats (75 pounds)
25 Air Squats
Daily Challenge Completed - 205 reps
Physical
100 reps - Walking 30 minutes; includes down and up elevation of 300 ft
5 reps - pranayama (yogic breathing exercises) 5 min X 2

Today is a rest day for me, but I still wanted to swing by to show my support for everyone else. While we'll get out and walk the pup after work, it's far from "working out."
Keep it up everyone!
Much appreciated. That's the spirit!
Hit 259 today for a great back day. I'm still working on the mind muscle connection to fully activate my lats during back day. CHECK OUT MY WORKOUT HERE!
Daily Challenge Complete- Wednesday 5.9.18

My notes:
Today was a quick little workout. I have been staying consistent with both of my challenge and looking forward to the challenges spreading like wildfire. I am hoping for a bigger day tomorrow since I should have more time. I hope everyone had a great hump day. Each day I focus on knocking out some push ups and squats for my #50pushupchallenge and #50squatchallenge. I am hoping people start to join me on this new challenge. If you are interested hit me up or resteem it get more people on board. 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.
Challenge complete 1 hr 44 minutes cycling = 300 reps
Challenge completed - 100 reps
A light session for me, as I was feeling really flat.
Any session = not flat.
A light session for you is like 500! LOL
Challenge Completed
and because we don't have any classes today here is the result:
Rest for 30 minutes
Rest for 1 hour
I guess it's 200 reps or more than. :)
The workout reps are 84 and between 30 minutes and 59 minutes of walking for fitness purposes is 100 reps, so 184 reps. Keep pushing yourself. Just keep in mind that walking around for "life stuff" isn't really part of this challenge. If it's a power walk or run for working out, then that's the idea.
Thank you so much!

My Assessment
I walked to the swimming pool (20 minutes) and then swam for 40 minutes, then walked back home (20 minutes) uphill over the countryside.
Later, I went to my favourite body pump class for an hour. I find squatting and lunging 20kg fairly easy now. I may continue for another 2 weeks then up my weights to 25kg.
I still only use 10kg for chest press, 5kg for triceps, 15kg for clean and press and back exercises.
Afterwards I am always buzzing and don't like to eat. However, my Dad went to Cornwall for a walking trip with friends and brought me back a load of different handmade fudges such as battonburg flavour, traditional vanilla, lemon meringue... so because they are sat on my table, although I am still buzzing even after a shower, I ended up eating two small packets of fudge! As you can probably tell, sweet things don't last in my house, so I tend not to buy them! Anyway, i'm pretty sure I have burnt the calories, it's just a shame about the sugar. A vegan chocolate protein shake would have been a better choice :)
You may also notice that I haven't practiced yoga in a few days! Bad Sammy... eating fudge and not practicing yoga ;)
I will practice a 90 minute session tomorrow morning and get back on track!
There is no shame in enjoying some of the sweeter things AFTER you workout. If you didn't work out and ate the entire table of fudge, then you'd be in bigggg trouble. Counting 400 reps here.
Daily Challenge Completed - 400 reps
JUST WALKING
(I forgt to post my day 49 update in yesterdays post)
Challenge Failed 0 Reps
On Day 50 at the halfway point of my 100 day challenge, I took a day off and did not do at least 100 reps. I skipped on the moring run, but instead just went on an hour walk in the afternoon and only did a couple of exercises during the day.
You are forgiven.
Great challenge accepted i will inform you my update.
Thanks for your motivation.
Stay Fit, Stay Alive !
I love workout and daily exercise. Everyday did about 150 reps minimum. but sad thing is recently i become lazy and stopped workout. But after seeing your post today i got hope again. It's time to start again. I accepted this challenge. i will tell you after finish this challenge.
Rock and roll.
A new and very special challenge
I hope to share it
Well done publishing
I am not sure you have seen that I also crossed 10,000.
I did, but thought I sent the SBD already. My wallet says otherwise. That's what I get for doing these posts half asleep in the middle of the night. Will send to you later today. Thanks for the reminder.
I have noticed that it looks like you have had plenty to do of late. :-)
Congrats on your first 10K
Thanks!
