My Daily Challenge Completed - 100 reps:
-50 Calf Bar Raises (75 pounds)
-50 Squats (75 pounds)
(Also 3 hours of a baseball scrimmage - light activity - not counted)
My Daily Assessment:
My baseball scrimmage today was my first time swinging a bat vs live pitching since last Summer. I also pitched 2 solid innings. I hit well in 4 at bats in roughly 35-40 degree weather, with no strikeouts. My legs felt great underneath me when swinging and playing the field. I don't know about my speed yet, but I feel strong. I hit some decently fast pitchers in cold weather, meaning my hand speed must be in good shape for my first time out. I lifted legs after since I anticipated my upper body being sore from the pitching as it usually is for the first few times of the year.

"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."
