    Did Michael Olijade's Extreme Abs and Back workout vid today -

    HOLY COW. I didn't count, but I am POSITIVE I got my 200 situps in plus a few extra for good measure!

    Good thing I didn't eat BEFORE working out.. :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

    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:

    Started my session today - Week 3 Day 1

    set 1: 18
    set 2: 25
    set 3: 19
    set 4: 19

    I hate crunches but in order to get fit and slim down this is the best way for me..

    Too bad I'm not able to do these all at the same time right now, but it's coming:glasses:

    Sorry, jb, but I really don't have any core strength to try to do full sit ups yet. I'll wait till I feel stronger then try it.

    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.
