I can't bend the rules. I did 50 reps before bed and drifted off before finishing my own challenge. I'd already posted twice on other topics [$6,000 of goods found in the recycling in 24 hours](https://steemit.com/recycling/@steemmatt/see-it-to-believe-it-usd6-000-worth-of-free-recycled-inventory-just-found-within-24-hours-usd25-000-original-retail-value-and) and on [whale Steem curation rates]( https://steemit.com/curation/@steemmatt/post-hf21-steem-curation-rewards-inquiry-how-much-are-larger-sp-holders-now-earning-daily-on-their-manual-voting), so I wasn't in a hurry to over-post, and then faded for the night. I also didn't wake up this AM and "complete" the challenge with another quick 50 because that'd be cheating. While interest in this challenge is small now, I can't skip posting since since some Steemians are making strides with it. I can't pull the plug now. _***To participants, act as if I posted this about 12 hours ago._ ### Day 21 Overview: 300 reps from 3 Steemians that completed the challenge. ### 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: 40 push-ups and 10 squats - INCOMPLETE / Not counted for Day 22. #### The push-ups are becoming very easy! The squats, not so much. My legs definitely need more rest. I have two baseball games on Sunday and might need to do more push-ups to recharge them properly, or take another day or two off (do other body parts instead). My triceps and chest feel amazing and are looking great. It's time to balance out some "pull" exercises as the next priority to make sure I'm not ignoring other areas. On that note, I did another 11 curls on the 75 pound bar to keep warming up my biceps for more intense work around the corner. #### Highlights: #### - I didn't cheat at my own challenge when nobody would know. ----- #### Net Participation: 9 Steemians from 7 countries for 7,886 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. 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.
