    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.

    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!

    Day 3 - 110 sit ups done after completing 45 minutes of lower and upper body workouts using the balance ball. My children gave me the balance ball and dvd for Mother's Day. It is a great way to get a good workout anytime. I highly recommend it.

    Check in - Week 3, Day 3

    33 / 33
    42 / 42
    30 / 30
    30 / 30
    Max - 70

    I see some people are doing the push-up challenges, too. I did them also; I started at the same time as the sit-ups. I'm also doing the squats challenge. I had already decided to focus on these three areas back in May, so when the challenges showed up, I grabbed on to them. I do all of them on the same days and it takes about 45 minutes and I sweat like crazy! But I'm getting better. My core is still not strong enough to do military push-ups, but that is my goal.

    Good luck, everyone, and keep up the good work. Stay strong and stay focused.

    Did anyone ever try using the balance ball for push ups? It seems easier but definite works...
