have only just seen this, so will do tomorrow now just got in from my aqua fit class0
-
I just did Jillian Michaels 6 Week 6 Pack! I know there is more than 150 in there! Does that count?0
-
150 STANDING ABS DONE!!! I may completed more throughout the day, though. My abs/sides feel GREAT and I'd like to keep going!
I'm also wondering how to log them - calisthenics?0 -
I'll take on this challenge!0
-
For those that are wondering...This is what I found regarding the crunches and push ups.
cal·is·then·ics [ kàlliss thénniks ]
physical exercise routine: vigorous physical exercises for improving fitness and muscle tone, including pushups, sit-ups, and jumping jacks
performance of calisthenics: the practice of performing calisthenics

how do you get in on the challenges?0

honestly, I don't log this. If you put in calisthenics, 5 minutes, (which is about what it took me to do the 3 sets of crunches/push ups), it comes up with something like 23 calories. Call it round up error and let it go. I just log the cardio stuff I do.0

I'm in for attempting the stand up Crunches. I'm off to work!.
But when I get home I might try them while rebounding which would had a fun unbalanced twist.0 -
Im going to do 160!!!!0

Well, I am a VERY heavy girl and I set my stopwatch each time I did them and it added up to just 10 minutes (I've done 200 and will probably add more before I leave work). It told me I burned 105 calories. I'm logging it. It's something out of my normal realm of daily activity so I am definitely inputting the numbers!0 -

Just do it! Report here what you've accomplished when you're done before midnight tonight and stay tuned daily in the forums for the next mini challenge0 -
All of the mini challenges could be logged as calisthenics. Personally, I don't add them, in particular if I'm breaking them up because I kinda think of these challenges as a bonus However, if adding them keeps you motivated and pushes you to do more then you most definitely should!0

Sure it counts, if you count!0 -
Hmmm, I better get started!! It's 4:30pm, and I just remembered to check in to see what today's challenge is!0

Ok so I have done 350 crunches..mixed up of all different ones, mainly basic crunches. And I have done 50 girlie push ups. It's a slow day at my house lol. I am home all day which is why I was able to do so many :) But I feel great for accomplishing this goal and then some
Congrats to those who have completed it and good luck to those of you who have yet to complete it :)0 -
150 crunches done!!0
-
160 done, may do more0
-
Question: In MFP, abdominal crunches are under "strength training" and therefore you don't burn any calories. If you were going to do 150 of them (and I am going to try to do this tonight), wouldn't you be burning some calories there? Am I missing something?0
-
I am a slacker on this challenge and am not going to do it at all today. I did an hour of zumba, 20 min of running and 25 min walking and well I am dead tired from all of that. Maybe tomorrow I will double up if I do it first thing in the morning....0
-
In the spirit of the challenge I did an ab workout video for my strengh training for the day that was 30 minutes long. So for crunches that I was able to keep track while doing the video there were 120 standing and 102 on the floor mixed with the rest of it. Challenge done!0
