    Did two sets of 25 sit-ups yesterday.:drinker:
    It explains it all there. It's at www.twohundredsitups.com.

    Cheers, yeahbuddy :flowerforyou: . Today in the aerobics&bodystyling class we did roughly 100 crunches, all sorts. So they must be counting as 50 sit-ups, the trainer did make sure we work various muscles. Funny thing was, while warming up I did feel yesterday's sit-ups in my tummy :happy: .

    Hope I'll do my test on the above website tomorrow morning. :wink:

    I noticed that too - it's probably just because a lot of the fat on my stomach is gone, now, but I can actually feel some muscle under there - I love how tight everything feels after a good workout now!

    I'm not quite in tight shirt territory yet, but maybe one day I'll join the ranks :laugh:
    I usually 'borrow' J's shirts unless I have to go in public (and even then, sometimes!) .. Why is it that mens' shirts are so much more comfortable than womens'?? :huh:

    It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!!

    Hoping everyone is having a good weekend. I'm not going to be able to do my workout tonight as I'm babysitting. I am going to start week 2 on Monday, though.

    You have a house on your ship??:laugh:

    Sorry I haven't checked in gang. I am up to 21/21/15/15/26 today. I worked in gardens all weekend and did about a thousand squats while planting and digging and spreading dirt ~ really sore from that today so I'm thinking that tomorrow *everything* will be sore! Yikes!

    I'm pathetic, I haven't done it yet. :embarassed: I had muscle sore from the aerobic class and then got sick. Mmm... I really look forward to seeing where I stand, but I just gotta give myself time. :huh: Will definitely keep you posted! :flowerforyou:

    omg - now you're really killing me. But seriously, I want a bosu ball now. I have a regular ball and do lots with that - it has helped tremendously with my core strength! I guess I can get the same hyper-extension on the regular ball - just can't raise my legs like on the bosu. Heehee, I'm talking like I could even do that anyway:laugh: :blushing:

    you can do it don't tell yourself you can't
    just tell yourself you will

    I love that Bosu there a little pricey like 100 bucks but I think wall worth the money
