Fitness Friday - 10,000 reps

Hello happy readers, I am back for another exciting year ahead.

Yesterday my brother set out a challenge through his blog Sell Everything and Travel.

February is 10,000 rep month.  The concept is to perform 10,000 reps of fitness exercises over the month of February.  As the month is only 28 days long that equates to just over 350 reps per day.

As with all great accomplishments there needs to be preparation.  I have started by setting a training schedule for myself consisting of the following:

100 x sit-ups
50 x push-ups
50 x triceps dips
100 x squats
100 x lunges
100 x leg raises

Total reps per day - 500.

Clearly this is more than the required of 350 per day, but as my regular readers will know my life is not always structured, so I figure why not put the extra in when you have time then you can have freedom when life's unexpected challenges come your way.

So I encourage anyone out there to get on board and set the challenge of 10,000 reps for February.  I will be posting about my progress on my twitter feed and will always link it with #feb10000repmonth and ask you to do the same.  Together we can all make a difference in our own lives and support others with the same motivation.

To start the motivational run I have compiled the following inspirational quotes on fitness:
