Today is day one! I started with modified pushups. :smile:

You can put what you did for today (if you'd like) and we'll update this thread every Thursday as far as our improvement for the week. :smile:

Day 1:

40 Modified Pushups!

(I'll put how many crunches I did here tomorrow, also, but you don't have to do both if you don't want to--just update us with how many you did next Thursday on that day--each week we'll see our improvements!)

Edited to Add: Just remember: We're competing only with *ourselves*, so don't feel pressure to be better than anyone else--just focus on bettering yourself! :flowerforyou:

    I have to be honest--I didn't do crunches yesterday. It's really unlike me to "skip" something, but it honestly slipped my mind. I did do more pushups today though. :smile: I'll def do my crunches tomorrow! Like I said, I usually don't "skip" things, so it was very out of character for me.

    I hope you're all doing great with your own challenges! :smile:

    I've been out of town. I'm starting tomorrow and I'll post.

    Are you guys doing these in sets or continuous reps?

    With push ups I have to sets of ten or I will die! lol :laugh: I've been doing continuous crunches but as soon as I work up to a high enough number I will start to do sets of 20 or 30.

    Looking forward to hear of your results!!!:flowerforyou:

    I personally am doing pushups continuously. I also move from one form of situps to the next and do 2 sets.

    I'm the opposite--if I don't do continuous I can't get started again, so I can't stop! LOL

    I did my crunches yesterday. :wink:
