We had 300 reps from 3 Steemians for this round.
I did 40 push-ups, 33 bar shoulder presses of 85 pounds, and 27 air squats while "resting" during my gym workout.
Again, shoulder presses have been added to the challenge options. Please include the weight.
Please step up for yourselves to improve your health right now. It's our most valuable asset.
You can work together to produce "team reps" to more easily get involved.
As long as 100 reps of a combo of push-ups, squats, and shoulder presses are done, reply on my post 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.
Excuses are running thin!

It's not a competition between people, but it's one with ourselves to improve our health and wellness.
Day 47 Results: 300 reps from 3 Steemians for Tuesday EST, 10/1.
Talk is cheap. Actions matter. Thank you for being involved!
My 10/1 Reps & Feedback: 40 push-ups, 33 shoulder presses of an 85 pound bar, and 27 air squats.
I focused on lateral and frontal shoulder exercises, the speed bag, abs/core, and some shrugs.
About half of my push-ups were with 3-second holds at the bottom.
My legs are still gassed. I'll be the starting pitcher at 8:30 AM on Sunday, so I need to recharge these fully, while also getting some light reps in. I guess I'll have no choice but to focus on push-ups as I can't do too many shoulder presses before pitching. Fortunately, push-ups don't seem to be a conflict with my throwing motion/soreness.
Dinner was a chicken wrap with steamed broccoli.
I never use supplements or any type of cheating. Just food, hydration, passion and hard work.

Again, this is just a baseline of activity for the day. Use good form to avoid injury and to get the best results.
This will be far from all I do on most days, and the same can go for you.
