A few years ago I made this goal to myself.....
Do a minimum of 50 situps in the morning and a minimum of 50 situps at night. Do it every night for thirty days. I recorded it on my calender by putting the number of situps I did in the morning in the top corner and the number of situps I did that night at the bottom corner.
Some nights I did the minimum but other nights or mornings I would do more. I got so into it that I NEVER forgot to do it. And by the end of the month I could REALLY see a difference. The belly roles I had were fading away. :)
I am going to be doing this 30 day challenge again starting tmrw morning. Would also like to have some other people join to give support. Super easy and very effective!

    Great idea! I am going to do 50 sit ups and 50 push ups in the morning and evening - girlie pushups mind you but maybe at the end of the 30 days they will be real ones!

    I love a challenge and this one is for me. I will be doing "bicycle" crunches instead of situps as I need to get control of these love handles. Thanks for organizing.

    Wish I had the energy to do them in the morning. It's all I can do to get of bed in time to drag my *kitten* to the shower!! I do usually do 3 to 4 sits of 50 at night though. Does that count?

    Would love to join everyone, but I can't do situps. Not because I'm obese, even when I was in high school in PE class, just couldn't do situps. :cry:

    "This is a really good idea, although I can't do 50 anything yet but I am working on it so count me in."


    I'm in the same boat...but I will start doing as many as I can in the morning and beating it by a few more in the evening!!

    Great idea~thanks for the motivation!!

    FOR THOSE DOING THE SIT-UP CHALLENGE:

    Everything I read says you can't flatten your stomach by doing sit-ups but I believe you can lose weight. Tell us what how many inches you are losing in your waist and your waist measurement when you started. I can't do sit-ups because of my spine problem but am curious. Thanks

    Anyone can do this. If situps just arn't your thing then create your own 50 challenge. Do push ups, squats, jumping jacks.... whatever challenge is best for you. I hope everyone sticks with it and see's the great results! Good luck everyone!!!! :)
