My Daily Challenge Completed - 130 reps:
-80 Push-ups
-50 Full Russian Twists
My Daily Assessment:
I wanted to hammer away more push-ups and core work. Will be going to a baseball practice on Thursday and then a double-header game this weekend, so I wanted to keep it simple to not tire my throwing muscles.
Great job to everyone working their reps in when they're tired, busy, sore, however, wherever. Take it with a grain of salt, but pain is usually weakness leaving the body. Whatever you're pushing through is going to make your body grow stronger and healthier to accommodate the new demand, and have it become easier over time.

"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!!"
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
