    Hey, when you guys get all the way up to 135 crunches, try doing a few sets of leg raises before your crunches and see how many crunches you can do.

    you should reach the point were you can't do any more crunches well before 135. so you get more benefit in less time. plus 135 reps of anything is kinda pointless. good luck!

    Interesting idea. Do you suggest crunching while the legs are raised or doing the raises than crunching.
    Oh, and I dunno about anyone else, but I'm not planning these in one go. Maybe sets of 20 reps each. I'm doing it mainly to see if I can!

    I'd do one then the other. lower then upper. reason being that you work the area that is being worked by crunches while doing the leg raises.

    more efficient because the number of reps you need to do before you approach your limit is much less.

    well done tlbruce1969 for sticking with it. Done mine today. Anyone else still going?

    Yeah thanks, I'm not sure who else may be still going but I made it this far so I figure I might as well keep going to see if I can finish. I notice my low back pain is actually gone now so added bonus. BTW I got my 85 last night.

    Got my 10k steps in last night and hit the century mark with the crunches and leglifts, pretty productive day me thinks. I did the crunches and leglifts in 2 sets of 50 also. was getting difficult towards the end of the second set, but I focused and made sure I had my form correct and "gutted" it out.

    You are doing awesome! Sadly I have missed the last 2 days as I have been ill, and I won't reach my quota today as I am still not well, but I will try and do a few.

    Got my 105 last night, 50 first set, 25 second and 30 last, after the first 50 was getting tired, switched from leg lifts last night to reverse crunches for the 105, less strain on my Adductor muscles in the thigh. Will probably switch between the two from here on out as the reverse crunches targeted ly lower abs better I think.
