    I have the c25k program on my ipod and had started this a few months ago but lost motivation after about 3 weeks. Think I will start again today with this as well :D should definately boost my exercise and calorie burning!

    I started this awhile back, but life got me.:cry: Now I am taking my life back (it helps that school is out for the summer!:tongue: ) I will do my exhaustion test tonight and report back! (I will try to join you on the squats and pushups, too.)

    GREAT! Good luck!

    Ex Test: 40 pushups. But since I didn't keep good form, I'm only taking 30.

    Are you doing the push-up test or sit-ups? Either or is fine but we're all on sit-up's to start and then are starting push-up's next! Great job either way :)

    You should start it back up!! Since you were doing it before and not quite starting from couch this time, it will be even easier to get through the first few weeks. Combining the two today felt great!!

    Keep up the great work everyone!! :)

    Yes it did :) Great workout :))

    I'm in. I just completed the initial test and did 50. That puts me in week 3 column 2 or 3. I think I will start with column 2 tomorrow. Oh, I am also doing crunches as the site says this:

    "Please note, due to the potential risk of spinal damage involved with performing traditional sit-ups, the two hundred sit- ups program will utilize the more common crunch or curl up exercise.

    Throughout this site, wherever you read the words "sit-up(s)", please think in terms of crunches or curl ups, not the out-of-favour mass taught exercise."

    Thank you for clarifying that for everyone :) We don't want any injuries! So technically I guess this should be called the 200 crunch challenge. ;)

    HOWS EVERYONE'S ABS FEELING TODAY!?

    I just saw this thread. Hope I can still join. I know I can do between 40 - 50 crunches at a time. But will check when I get home.

    Yes of course anyone can join anytime they'd like. So just do your exhaustion test, find your week and column you'll be begining on, on the 200 sit-up site. You'll only be a day behind, no biggie! Everyone starts at different weeks so chances are you won't even be behnd after the exhaustion test :) WELCOME :smile:

    I ended up doing Turbo Kickboxing and Yoga yesterday. Was too exhausted after that to do my situps. I'll be doing them tonight before my 3rd C25K jog of the week. :) It's been a great week so far!!
