Accountability is doing your reps when the blockchain is down. I did my 100 on Sunday and 100 on Monday. No excuses. I was glad to have rested on Friday and Saturday to be energized for the home run derby and to play 9 innings of baseball on Sunday. I played 6 innings at second base, pitched 1, and was catcher for 2. I did very well. ### Days 17 & 18: 400 reps from 3 Steemians who completed the challenge (all unable to post/reply with Steem down). ### Let's grow this healthy community now by spreading the word and contributing some reps. This is for _your_ health. ------- To people new, see the kickoff post linked below. We'll be opening up to other exercise types in due time. I'm trying to keep this simple for now to get everyone assembled and on the same page. What's the challenge? 50 push-ups (modified if needed) and 50 air squats. See my video. If you want to do a different ratio or split, that's fine. Just reach 100 reps from these options and reply below with an affirmation, pic, link, or video. We're on the honor system. If you can't do all of the push-ups, I know you can do squats for the rest. Get involved! ------ #### My Reps: 20 push-ups and 80 squats on Sunday + 50 push-ups and 50 squats on Monday for 200 total. When I space my reps out during the day/night, the push-ups are a breeze. I do feel the squats, but not nearly as much as when I started. I'm looking into buying a bar to do hanging back rows on to get some "pull" exercises in on this challenge soon. I want to make sure I keep myself balanced. #### Highlights: - Props to anyone who still did the reps without being able to post on them.' ----- #### Net Participation: 9 Steemians from 7 countries for 6,598 reps #### Day 1: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - @belemo (NIGERIA) [Video proof.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoztfkYGRSA) Day 2: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - @belemo (NIGERIA) - [Video with proud smile at the end.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv4pEtnaVb8) - @thevillan (AUSTRALIA) - [Video proof that the Aussie Beast is back.](https://steemit.com/dtube/@thevillan/7vbnd5lha1r) Day 3 - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - @belemo (NIGERIA) - @joshman (ETHIOPIA) Day 4: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) [2:19 Video Here](https://archive.org/details/5roudsof10ps.5sq) - @joshman (ETHIOPIA) - @mamalikh13 (IRAN) [Proof Post](https://steemit.com/fitness/@mamalikh13/the-steem-daily-100-rep-fitness-challenge-of-50-push-ups-and-50-air-squats) Day 5: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) [Amazing video here.](https://archive.org/details/50ps50squat) - @belemo (NIGERIA) [Video here](https://steemit.com/fitness/@belemo/100-reps-challenge-day-5) - @celestal (FINLAND) [Video here]((https://steemit.com/fitnesschallenge/@celestal/joining-in-for-steemmatt-s-100-rep-challenge)) Day 6: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - @joshman (KENYA for travel) Day 7: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - @belemo (NIGERIA) - @khufu (AUSTRALIA) Day 8: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - @belemo (NIGERIA) - @khufu (AUSTRALIA) - @joshman (KENYA for travel) Day 9: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) In superhuman time of 1:43! - @joshman (KENYA for travel) - @khufu (AUSTRALIA) 120 reps. - @bitfiend (USA) - Day 10: - @steemmatt (USA) - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - @belemo (NIGERIA) - @khufu (AUSTRALIA) - @bitfiend (USA) Manned up to do his 100 and extra various reps!

Everyone please support and encourage the team here. They're working hard to build a community the hard way. It's about the bigger picture. Make sure you go 90 degrees with your elbows and legs, with your back straight, on each rep. Feel free to help others if they look like that can use some advice. Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. This will be far from all I do on most days, and the same can go for you. --- ### Markets and spirits may be down now, but our health should always be on the rise. ### ### We don't always need an app and tokens for everything, or to worry about things we can't control. ### ### Worry about what we _can_ control. Let's put the human back into fitness here, and you _will_ see and feel results. ### Rep on, @steemmatt P.S. - Please use the fitnesschallenge tag if you can.
