  • GREAT GREAT GREAT EVERYONE :) i DIDN'T Start yesterday due to the holiday, but this week I will be starting Week 4 Day 1 Column 3. I'll post soon. Can't wait to hear everyone's results. I hope everyone keep's in mind that although it is called a sit-up challenge your suppose to be doing crunches. The 200 sit-up site explains proper form if you have any questions. Due to it being a short week and we have lot's of newbies to the thread we will start the push-up challenge next week :)

  • At high reps, sit-ups essentially become cardio exercise. I don't know whether you're all doing this to "tone up" your abs, but if you are, you're better off putting weights on your chest or using a machine and pushing out 6-8 reps until you're to the point of exhaustion, for about 3 sets, every other day. That will tone your abs better than anything else.
  • I am in. I will take the initial test today. Six weeks to 200!!!!

    Thanks for the advice. Were all just following a program to accomplish the 200 sit up's! I'llmaybe give it a try today! :)

    I'm in! I'm going to start on Monday so I can sync it up with my C25K routine.

    I also wanted to do the 100 push-up challenge that you can find on the same website. I think I'm going to stagger that one so it's Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday. I can't do a real push up yet, so I'm going to start with a modified push up (aka "girl push up", haha) until I get some upper body strength going and then restart doing real push ups.

    I'm going to do my exhaustion tests today or tomorrow so I can get going on Monday!

    I'm so excited!
