Challenge completed on top of 80 minutes at the gym. I look the most "fit" I have in a long time and it feels good to have the hard work/discipline pay off. Markets are down... oh well, I'll be exercising more, and then out to find recycling to resell. _Always be building._ ---- "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." In other words, get off your asses and improve your health right now. It's our most valuable asset. Help us build here and yourself at the same time. It's a win-win all the way. ----- ### You can now work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved. ### - As long as 100 reps of a combination of push-ups and squats are done, reply on my posts with those who helped. - I encourage more of this so people don't feel intimidated. The goal is to be happy, proud, and healthy from this exercise and participation. - Uh oh... excuses are thinning! ### Current charts with everyone's stats and progress: ###

_It's not a competition between people, but it's one with ourselves to improve our health and wellness._ ------- ### Day 39 Results: 200 reps from 2 Steemians for Mon EST, 9/23. ### - @rmsbodybuilding (UK) - 100 - @steemmatt (US) - 100 Talk is cheap. Actions matter. Thank you for being involved! ------ ### My 9/23 Reps & Feedback: 70 Push-ups and 30 Squats ### - I did my push-ups at the gym between other reps. These push-ups are almost effortless now, which is a feat in itself. I'm also not sore at all the next day. Pretty cool. - My legs are constantly pumped up and feel like they're in growth mode. However they do get a little sluggish from squats, baseball (and practices), and a lot of walking/stairs throughout the week. They look super fit and I'm amazed at how well they've responded to the consistent exercise. I suppose I can improve upon this with weighted squats so air squats feel like a feather, but probably not until after my Fall baseball season is over. - I never use supplements or any type of cheating. Just food, hydration, passion and hard work. ---- ### Today's Highlights: ### - Nothing notable to report. ------- ### What's the challenge? ### 50 push-ups (modified if needed) and 50 air squats. 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. *Team entries are now accepted. If you can't do all of the push-ups, I know you can do squats for the rest. Get involved! 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. This is for _your_ health. Why not try to join us just once to see how it goes? --------- To any interested Steemians who want more info/background: *Please see this [link from the kickoff post](https://steemit.com/fitness/@steemmatt/putting-back-the-manual-into-fitness-restarting-the-steem-daily-100-rep-fitness-challenge-with-50-push-ups-50-air-squats) for details. 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. Don't have your elbows too wide on the floor. 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.
