My Daily Assessment:
Had to go on antibiotics for whatever I got from supposedly playing baseball in the cold. Pretty sapped, but still got my reps done. The back-to-back days of air squats were good to do to get the blood flowing since I've been feeling weak.

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 love the gif of the guy drinking beer on the exercise machine.

Trying this out - for @rollthedice
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 5.
How did you know about my bot? I've got a couple more... rolltwodice, rollD20 and gobbo...
They have been showing up as people/bots up-voting me for awhile. So I clicked on them and read the post of @rollthedice from 2 months ago. And tried the comment above.
So now that I got a "5", what happens? Hopefully it means I won 5 BTC. :-)
Ahhhhhh, oh yeah, sorry.... yes, they follow me around.
I had to delegate 90SP to them each to get them past their bandwidth issues... and then figured they might as well use that SP for voting since I can't use it myself.
5 BTC? I like that... you think big.
Let's see how many BTC I've won: @rollD20
Seriously, what happens after the dice get rolled and a number appears?
Shake shake shake, you roll the 20-sided die.
You rolled a 15.
Shake shake shake, you roll the 6-sided die.
You rolled a 5.
Challenge completed - 100 reps
Cardio day :)
Accidentally upvoted 100%, which you'd always deserve, but don't want anyone to think their workout wasn't as good.
Daily Challenge Complete - 450 Reps - Went all out today! Feels good to be able to do this many reps. I worked a little bit of everything since I wasn't feeling sore.
For a second I thought rms actually missed a day. This gave me hopes to snag that first place spot. Oh well :P
I did those ball throws once with the trainer. I thought I was going to break the wall.
Today I hit 227. Check out how I turned morning agitation into afternoon happiness here
And i figured out how to add gifs!
Whoa! Dude!! Almost gave me a heart attack!

My Assessment
Another beautiful day! I practiced for over and hour of yoga in the garden and then taught an hour of yoga. After being in the sunshine all day, I am fairly sleepy now! Luckily my body is very stretched which is what it needed after body pump yesterday!
Hook me up with some basic yoga poses. I am interested in learning how to improve my flexibility.
I am starting a Dtube channel very soon!
A great one to start with, is to sit on a cushion or yoga block (if you cannot sit comfortably on the floor with your back straight (belly button pulled in towards the spine, shoulders back but pulled down away from ears not shrugged up, chest nice and open), then sit with one leg forward in front of you, foot flexed, toes pointing up towards the sky.
Have the other leg bent and relaxed towards the floor, so when you look down your legs are either spelling a 'd' shape or a 'b' shape. You may need to rest a cushion under your outer knee if it doesn't touch the floor comfortably.
Then the goal is to keep your back straight and core activate while you bend forward towards the flexed foot. Do not round your back.
Using a strap around that flexed foot will help you to keep your chest nice and open and back straight while you edge forward.
At first, you may not be able to move that much forward, however with consistent practice (3-4 rounds on each leg everyday), you will.
It is always hard to begin with, and you may feel uncomfortable, but just keep on trying. Remember on every exhale to push yourself that little bit more. breathing into the uncomfortable helps.
This is one of my favourites for starting people off with when working on their flexibility. It is a half forward bend (full would be both legs out infront of you and feet flexed).
You may also want to practice balancing poses to improve your leg strength and mental focus. I like starting beginner's off with tree pose (never put the foot against the knee, either rest it higher or lower).
Then once you can balance easily in this pose, challenge yourself by bringing your arms either side of you and then bend your torso to the left side and then to the right (move with every exhale), then try twisting your torso to the left on your exhale and then to the right on your exhale.
This helps to challenge your balance and focus.
Wow! Such an awesome response. I appreciate the thorough breakdown of a few poses and pictures. It will definitely help me improve my form and flexibility. Thank you again!!
You're so welcome! I love yoga and I love teaching and helping people with it too! I will start videos soon, I am just working on my intro bit before all videos (my perfectionism with my brand sometimes delays me!! ;)
I would love to hear how you get on with the poses :)

My notes:
I have been consistently working my way back to the daily challenge and completing it everyday. I want to get back to the days where I posted daily. I am still focusing on shredding weight and looking good for summer. I want to thank everyone for all of your support!
If you are tired of sitting there and scrolling through your phone or web browser of people with transformation pictures. It is your time to get up and start doing it for yourself. It all starts with one thing motivation! If you are looking for a community that motivates and encourages you check out @steemmatt 100 rep daily challenge and my 50 push ups a day challenge. Its time to get up and look at the yourself in the mirror and stop wishing and start doing!
@steemmatt you actually fooled me with @rmsbodybuilding missing his first day. ha ha
BTW nice job killing 100 push ups for the day. Maybe someone should jump in on my challenge! Lol
Favourite training song all time. Good luck on the challenge everyone!
Those kids at the end should have exercised more.
Lol the fact that they made this and kept a straight face the entire time.(I never heard this before)
Daily challange completed
Legs workout
Total reps 500
Jogging +cycling +treadmill +shoulders+forearm
Total reps 1156
If you record these reps on your phone, etc., mind adding a pic of the log or showing the split in reps from cardio to weights?
No problem i am a little bit busy to post in detail. I will look forward to it to give complete data... Just let me finish my exams... Now if you look.. I run for 1 hour daily early morning that means 200 reps... Than in the gym i go for treadmill and cycling that means another 100 reps... Pushups chinups... So i am almost 400 reps upto the warmup only....
No problem. Spelling out that cardio is kind of what I was looking for you to spell out so it gave some scale vs the gym reps. Thanks and good luck with your exams.
I think people should have to prove in some way they are legit, it's not hard to get an app to record running, or take a picture of results from the machines. that's alot of reps
I agree... some days 200 takes me like 2 hours.
incredible project! I had not seen such an original idea, I think it's great the good that they do to the community and I would like to be part of this!
It is an incredible project! It gives me the motivation to get the 100 reps in even if I don't feel like working out that day :D!
Thanks @steemmatt ;)!
do I have an opportunity to start in this now?
You can jump in or out any time. 100+ reps of your choice per day, preferably with some proof. That's it!
thank you friend, for things of the life I had fallen in a hard depression and raised almost 30 kilograms, but see the testimonies today and their interest really made me feel inspired, I will strive to be up to the challenge, sorry for my bad english also xd
You made it above the $1.50 mark. Great job!!! Hahaha
I do yoga, qigong, Taijiquan every day (minus a couple days) for the five and a half years. Does this count?
Hah - probably because Steem's price is rising a bit.
@mgood and @vibrantyogini are very heavily focused in your realm and they contribute via that route. Usually an hour of yoga, etc., is 100 reps or so.
Feel free to get involved... if you DAREEEE.
