Today’s a wrap. It was a challenging day on other fronts today. Obstacles come in many different shapes, sizes, and forms... but the biggest obstacle is actually myself.
Today I did my best to stay true to myself and to be positive. And the walk I took helped clear my head and give me perspective so that was good!
So! Tomorrow morning I’m going to go for an #automaticwin! An #automaticwin is getting 10,000 steps in first thing in the morning before 10am and hash tagging the win for everyone to celebrate here on SteemIt! If any of you want to join me that would of course be super cool! That way the rest of the day will be a bonus round! And let me tell you... it feels pretty damn good to start off the day like that! 😁
Ok! And another exciting development happened today! @Actifit officially kicked off their first fitness challenge with 10,000 Actifit tokens on the line! I’m super pumped about this challenge as it’s going to be a static plank challenge! (I will reblog the Actifit post so you can read up on the details so look for that.)
Static planks are not just physically difficult they also require a great deal of mental perseverance and commitment. Having a strong centre is absolutely required for all running/waking locomotion as this type of movement make use of the all the core... in fact the body leads with the core first as it moves along.
If you don’t believe me try walking by putting your feet first or your upper torso first. Not only will you look like either a clown or a zombie it will quickly become apparent that this is simply NOT an efficient way to move. You always lead with your core.
So! This is why it’s great that 
We have a little less than 7 days to put out a video of us holding our best plank so count me in and may the best planker win! 😁
See you all tomorrow!
