"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."
PLEASE READ:
**Please take it into consideration that the focus of this fitness challenge is workouts with weights or fitness reps. Cardio was a traditionally intended to be a supplement unless it's the only thing you generally do.
...Extensive cardio work/calisthenics/recreational activities are all amazing, but are ideally not intended to be the focal points of this competition.
...While I want you to have everyone be motivated and happy, I also don't want to make people who exercise with 100-200 strong reps look like they're not matching the competition with high reps counts from the aforementioned activities. We're a team and should try to keep everyone feeling great about what they're doing. Quality is better than quantity.
