1,500 crunches takes about 25 to 30 minutes. I do them 500 at a time 3 times in between my workout3

Very glad to see every poster in this thread working to improve themselves. Doesn't matter if you are doing 10 or 10,000 per day, if you keep doing what you can you are moving one step closer to the person you want to be. As Benjamin Franklin once said,
"If you do today what others won't, you'll do tomorrow what others can't."
Even small amounts add up over time. Dawn is lamenting "I really am not getting better at this" yet she really is, whether she realizes it or not. Is she doing 100 at a time? Of course not, yet she has already logged 450 this month alone, which is probably more than she's done in a long time combined! Just like a diet will have many internal impacts before anything is seen externally, so too are each of you improving in ways you may not be able to see but are every bit as real.
Thank you to machavin for citing me as an inspiration, but I will raise a glass to each of you as also being inspiring in turn. (Hmm...glass of water for a fitness forum? Glass of eggnog for the holiday season? lol So many choices!)2 -

Thanks for that nossmf : - )
I have always been fairly strong in the lower body (skating etc.) but I really do suck at push-ups : - )
It is good to have this challenge to get them in every day. I definitely feel lots of spots getting stronger from doing them, but I do them from my knees and don't get even close to the ground. If it weren't for this challenge I would never do them.
Fitness forum or otherwise, I will soon be making a big pot of mulled wine for over the holidays, so cheers!0 -

I do dance abs, which amounts to many crunches, albeit standing/dancing. I don't count them as I do them, one of the trainers that I follow sometimes says things like "we have already done the equivalent to 500 crunches".
Adding in push-ups is really great.

crunches-30. Can't do push-ups for now, even on the wall as they are bothering my neck into the shoulder where I am being treated for a 20 year or so old pinched nerve as a result of an injury. So I will try to strengthen other ways.0
