    Okay, I knew they would have something on youtube, check this out. Don't do too many or you will be sore.

    Is it crazy that I think that looks fun? I'm going to see if I can convince my roommate to try it with me.

    Dave suggested one where you lay kinda of in a pushup position. But instead of resting on your hands, rest on you forearm. Then hold your body up with your toes (like a push-up). So only your toes and forearms are touching the ground. Just hold that position. He said for added difficulty, put a medicine ball in the small of your back.

    Another Dave suggestion is sitting back to back with someone and passing a medicine ball. Pass it to your left and they'll grab it on their right. Then they do it the same way. So you pass the ball in circles to work your obliques (sp?). Dave said he was in the fat group in the navy so he knows lots of excercises. :laugh:

    my friend was visiting from MA and we did abs on the beach!! We did Pilates type ab work and she showed me some yoga moves. Fun to watch ppl watching US!!

    Specially the drunken bum that kept walking up to us asking if we were "Sceretching out maximus!!" I thought it was hilarious cuz of well MAX.....she thought it was funny cuz he was spraying me with spit when he said it. Good thing salt water disinfects!!

    The plank is what my 13 year old had me doing and I thought I was doing to collapse. We also did the leg cross one and my legs thudded to the floor each time with just a little push. :grumble:

    This is a good but bad challenge for me!

    I've been doing the 200 situps thingy, it's a great program to build up your crunching abilities. www.twohundredsitups.com No time like the black team challenge to start it-- baby steps!





    Think I am going to go repeat the work I did at 5 am. And some planks, too those are killer! I've also got a lateral thigh strider that seems to work my obliques.
