--> What you need:
a method to track the numbers 1-365 to avoid repeating in future days

--> Exercises involved:
your choice of bodyweight exercises (pushups, pullups, crunches, squats, etc)

--> How it works:
Some challenges tell you to start slow and increase reps every day, for example 1 Rep on Jan 1, 2 Reps on Jan 2, and so on. By the end of the year you are doing huge numbers of reps every day. By the end of the year you will have done every rep count from 1-365.

This challenge works a little differently in that you get to choose which rep count you do on any given day. Extra busy in the middle of summer, don't have time to do 180 reps? Knock out a single rep and call it done! Got the time and energy to do 300 reps in January? Do it! So long as you do a different rep count every day, you're fine. (If you do 1 Rep on Jan 1, then for the rest of the year you cannot settle for 1 Rep.)

Select from among any of the bodyweight exercises, swapping as needed. (e.g. If you want to do 50 reps, you can do 25 pushups, 15 pullups, and 10 jumping jacks.) Break them up as needed into different sets as well as throughout the day. (e.g. 2 sets of 15 in the morning, plus 3 sets of 10 before bed.)

--> How can I make this challenge easier?
Beginners can start out with a "Month of Reps" challenge, where each day you do from 1-30 reps, then start anew next month.

--> How can I make this challenge harder?
Do all your reps at one time (i.e. all in the morning, or all during lunch hour). You can still break into as many sets as needed.
