**Big news - I FAILED to meet my OWN challenge for the first time in 118 days. Sadly it wasn't intentional, but I had to be honest. I wound up staying out late and accidentally passed out when I got home to miss my workout. @rmsbodybuilding is now the undisputed ironman champion. Shame shame shame, on me.
The Challenge:
At least 100 honest reps of your choice of exercise every day. No excuses. No bullsh*t. Just actions, positivity, and results. Only post AFTER your reps are done. Always support each other. See rules below.
Daily exercise idea (not a requirement for the challenge) - Lower Back Extensions
- Can hold weights across chest to increase difficulty.
- Stretching before and during is very important!
- Secure ankles.
- Do not bounce up and down.
- Stop if you feel any abnormal pain.
Example below. Please do your own research to confirm the proper mechanics.
*BONUS TIP - Please don't ever do this...
Daily Update:
- 17 Steemians contributed 6,381 daily reps for 4/04/18.

My Daily Assessment:
My best friend invited me out and we stayed out far later than expected, and I accidentally fell asleep when I got home to miss my first workout in 118 days. Damn!!

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."
