    Yes! I just did the initial sit up test today, so I'll start the challenge on Tuesday.

    I think I will do the push up and squat challenge too.

    Great enthusiasm!

    Me I am out on the squats, they kill my knees!

    Did my test today; maxed out at 50. I'll start on Thursday with Week 1, Day 1.

    I think sit-ups can help strengthen your core if you do as the information shares for you to do. Make sure when you come up to the 35 degree angle, you count one beat and then lower yourself back to the floor. As for the bloating or not getting a toned abdominal area, it may be due to what you are eating. So pay attention to what you are posting and the results over the next day. Also, if you eat the same products, you may find that the bloating is greater.

    Stay strong, everyone, and watch your form.

    50, that's awesome Cindy, way to go, thanks for pointers.
    Didn't really have any issues with bloating, but I am sore :)

    Week 1, Day 1 done!

    Since I only did 10 for the initial test, I started on the far left column. However, I maxed out at 12 on the last set, so I think tomorrow I'm going to move over to the middle column. I just hope I'm doing them in the proper form.... *crossing fingers*

    Doing great, make sure to take your rest day to give the muscles time to repair themselves. ckitchens mentions the form in her last form, but you can always google it as well.

    Have a great night!

    I would like to join this challenge as well. I maxed out at 60, but I'm going to repeat the test tomorrow to see if the number is the same. I'll officially start the challenge on Friday.

    Made through week 1 day 2, thought I was going to die via sit up. Made it through, may add an extra rest day before completing the week. Not sure yet, wait till I know how I feel then.

    Everyone is doing a great job, keep up the awesome work!!!
