Choose an exercise(s) or activities that you will commit to doing 100 reps of daily and target 300 of the next 364 days to complete them to reach 30k reps by year’s end. This can be100 minutes, miles, pages, units etc of any self care/improvement pursuit.
Post your activities and update it daily in your original post with the date and cumulative total to track your progress.
Who’s in?

Where is Captain Canada when you need him?
Probably busy already ticking off rep 10,000 for the year.
You know how much I like 100/100 sorts of things
I’m gonna have to think on this; meditate, if you will
Would 100 minutes of something /day count? A little more than an hour and a half of reading every day for instance? Or artwork, in my case?
That’s a great idea. 100 minutes, miles, pages, any self care/improvement qualifies.
I’m in for 100 seconds.
That’s what he said.
And it was still aspirational.
That might be the best come-back ever!
I’d like to jump in on this, but who’s gonna keep us honest? Besides ourselves, I mean…
I definitely need to do a shit-ton more push-ups, but I also need to balance that out. What would the equivalency be for chin-ups/ pull-ups, ya think? Because clearly anyone that can do 100 pull-ups a day doesn’t probably need to be in this challenge…
Also, should we count up, or count down from 30k??
Only 32,999 more dumb questions to go!
As an assist, let me offer this, from the 100/100 page in the Running forum
The “Seinfeld Strategy”
Brad Isaac was a young comedian starting out on the comedy circuit. One fateful night, he found himself in a club where Jerry Seinfeld was performing. In an interview on Lifehacker, Isaac shared what happened when he caught Seinfeld backstage and asked if he had “any tips for a young comic.”
Here’s how Isaac described the interaction with Seinfeld…
He said the way to be a better comic was to create better jokes and the way to create better jokes was to write every day.
He told me to get a big wall calendar that has a whole year on one page and hang it on a prominent wall. The next step was to get a big red magic marker. He said for each day that I do my task of writing, I get to put a big red X over that day.
“After a few days you’ll have a chain. Just keep at it and the chain will grow longer every day. You’ll like seeing that chain, especially when you get a few weeks under your belt. Your only job is to not break the chain.”
It’s good to have a goal.

What I like about this one is that it disconnects from a “days of the week” protocol, e.g. “it’s Thursday, so that means …”
It’s binary; did you do, or do not?
Finally … this mantra, which I have posted in my studio

The prevailing exchange rate is 4 push-ups = 1 pull up. Local market conditions may vary.
