I missed out on these challenges for July, but I'm ready to kick off August in a big way. 2 simple little exercises done regularly for the next 30 days. I'm actually starting tomorrow with measurements. Who's with me?!

    I'll try it. I just finished the squat challenge so this time it should be easier right?!

    Well d@ng, I'm supposed to be on Day 6 over on the other Ab challenge but I tell ya, it will be SO much easier to follow along when the challenge days match the days of the month! So I will do my 100 over on that challenge and then join this one for August. (Rest day for squats. Yay!)

    I'm in. I will be canoeing in the wilds mid-August for a week but will try to keep up while incommunicado.

    So are these squats and crunches done in one setting or across the day?

    I'm not doing them together/in one sitting. Personally, I do abs later in the day and might do all of those in one shot but for squats anything over 60 or so, I usually do one in the morning and another later in the day. I'll do a third if needed.

    Hi ya'll... Okay, I got a bit eager LOL. I did some last night and today... Looking forward to the official challenge tomorrow.

    I'm decent on the squats, actually knocked them out 35 at a time in a few moments. The ab crunches have me troubled.

    Anyone have suggestions on doing an effective crunch??

    Great job with those squats! I know for myself, I am going to be doing a variety of crunches, something like these:3l4868576oeu.jpeg


    I goggled simply crunches and saw this:oyzmrwzxgydq.jpeg

    @Imagine_if Just thought about... if you had a stability ball you could do basic crunches on it or take it a step more:

    Do what you can, how you can (don't strain your neck), until you get stronger!
