I think we are one in the same person, honestly its strange could have written that myself lol.
Is there a minimum standard we are supposed to adhere to and does one or both of jumping to conclusions or running up a bar tab count 😏
Another one in. 🙂
Is there a minimum standard we are supposed to adhere to
30 minutes of exercise extra to anything you would already do like walking the dog or a short commute. It is accepted that at times life does get in the way and an occasional day off is inevitable.
This challenge provides the added motivation to do something when you really don’t feel like it.
I'm in, separation last year killed routine for me, but I have a handle on life again for this year and need to get into myself back onto the regular exercise routine, I've found it too easy to not do anything this year.
30minutes of sit ups and press ups when I don't get on a bike. I do need to make the non bike days more fun...
I'll attempt this again.
I may not do 30 mins each day but I'll aim to do something.
I did start doing Joe Wicks HIIT workouts via YouTube, which are anything from 10 to 30 mins. Found them to be a pretty good workout but stopped recently to give my wrist a bit more rest and then life got in the way. It also gives me a deadline to get the decorating/deep cleaning done and out the way.
I'll probably end up doing a lot of walks and a lot of Joe Wicks but that's a lot of what I'm not doing now.
Anything is better than nothing.
Go on then.
- And with that kind of go getting attitude, I'm bound to do well 🙂
Strava group sounds good too.
I'm in. Bloody hot weather and holidays over the summer have been no good for my already poor fitness levels...
I'm in too.

The 30 minutes thing is a guideline - as long as you reckon you've done some exercise, you're good. But it needs to be a bit of a challenge, so just doing 5 pressups every morning and saying you're done goes a bit against the spirit of the thing!
My aim is to either ride outdoors, do an early morning sufferfest on the static bike or 30 mins of yoga every day.
Dammit. I need the motivation. If nothing else, it will persuade me to take a bvreak from work now and again
Just spotted the thread at 11pm last night, so I managed my 100 press-ups and 100 squats before midnight, and I'll put that with walking the dog for day one. Started a list on my shopping list app on my phone to nudge me a bit more.
I'll do it again this year. It will give me more reasons to escape the DIY abyss.
day one
Day one is next week!
I gym, cycle and/or swim daily anyway. I assumed most did on here
I'd rather slam my testicles in a door than go to the gym.
I’m in, could do with a push in getting back to fitness
down to once a week cycling at the moment, need some motivation!
100 press-ups and 100 squats
Add in 100 sit ups and a 10km run and you will following the training routine Saitama from 'One Punch Man' follows.
I might try for a quarter of the above numbers?
Day one is next week
Oops. Have now installed my Santa countdown.
Right, I’m in as well. I’ve never signed up for any social challenge like this but I need to shift the belly and get fit for next Spring.
I’d rather slam my testicles in a door than go to the gym.
For 30 minutes, for 100 days?
Putting in the preparation here. McDonald's for tea, rum for pudding and just had a bed time buttered scone. Hench.
I’d rather slam my testicles in a door than go to the gym.
I suppose that's also a form of exercise. You won't need the gym you can do that in your car.
Righto, I'm up for this.
Not wanting to bang on about it, but having metastatic prostate cancer and starting chemo on the 21st, I need plenty of goals to pull me through.
No pressure but if I can do this... you lot can 🙂
I'm in again. I've done this for the past 2 years and have ended up missing days throughout. Mostly due to going off like a frog in a sock, and running out of steam. I'll try and get the pacing better this year. I'm recovering from shoulder surgery, so the motivation will be nice. But I'm going to be limited in what I can do. I know I can do at least one thing one-handed. Slam my balls in a door. I'm somewhat ambitiously going to try to lose 10kg over these 100 days.
I’m going to give this a shot. Loved it the first year I tried it but failed miserably last year due to a dodgy knee! Still have knee trouble but need to shift the 10kgs I’ve put on recently!!
Clicked on this and relieved to find I'm not too late to join.
100 days of calf muscle strengthening would be more accurate. I tore it earlier in the year, did the physio for a while, thought it felt better and stopped. Some long descents recently have suggested otherwise 😞
When does it start?
I’m in, didn’t really work for me previously but I’m pretty locked in to Pilates 4/5 days per week now which work for days when running/biking is off the cards.
Starts 16th September.
Brillo, ta. 🙂
Returning from a STW sabbatical and happy to be back in time for this.
I started stretching/yoga regularly back in June and now WANT to do it everyday but I don't always accomplish that. Hoping this little challenge will get me over the hump.
May I take this opportunity to encourage you to make stretching/yoga part of your exercise game plan over the next 100 days. As a 47 year old fella I feel fantastic for it. Not just in body but also in mind ... I just feel so calm recently, its wonderful (and I haven't even got into the mediation side of yoga, just the physical) It's low impact and doesn't knacker you out, in fact I find it energizing.
Anybody wondering whether they could do this challenge in a boarder sense allow me to give you a tip.... Get way from thinking about WORKING OUT !! Beasting yourself every day for the next 100 days isn't the idea. Do enough to get a little sweat on but not too much
that you can't go again the next day.
Good Luck
Do you go to a class? If it's anything online, colour me interested! 🙂 I get back pain from WFH and being sedentary, but have started just walking to the bottom of the garden and back every hour, gets me a few minutes away from the screen and I feel the benefit already of not just sitting all day long. 🙂
As above I'll do a 30mins recovery ride on wahoo as a rest day but still enough to raise the HRM. Tbf usually stick in a yoga 15min to.
There's only one way to go about this seriously. So I'm hopefully getting a new bike tomorrow. No excuses.
I’m just getting my last couple of days of crappy eating and drinking in

Been a tough and calorific few days, but I'm nearly ready too.

Nicely done.
So what's the deal with this - if it's not on Strava and visible to the 100 day STW club it didn't happen, or is there some spreadsheet we fill out ?
Who’s up for posting their starting stats on here (whatever you want, whether it be waist size, ftp, weight, body fat%, resting heart rate, etc etc) then posting your stats after 100 days?
Steady Tiger, I don't even know you.
ftp
I don't even know what this means 😬

I'm in - weight and waist size are the only metrics I can reliably measure before Friday and repeat on Xmas day.
Last year it was pretty informal, it's up to you how you want to log stuff.
I had bits on Strava that would have gone on anyway, other bits like a walk, climb etc I just remembered. We updated eachother on here and tried to encourage everyone, and all remained jealous of scotroutes photos.
Bloody hell! Nae pressure then?
