    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.

    I'm new here too, but I'm going to try this challege anyways. I'll do my initial test today (pretty sure I already know what my results will be) and start with week 1 tomorrow so I can stick with the M/W/F schedule.

    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...

    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!

    We look forward to seeing your results :)

    Day two... 100 situps.. by the way... I do the half way up situps... these are better for your back... Are you folks doing a complete situp?

    Yes I think for the most part we are all doing crunches instead too!

    So for anyone who hasn't already started the push-up and squat challenge, if you'd also like to start those challenges this week (on whatever day your start day is) feel free to record your records here. Sounds like most of you already have started like myself so we might as well include all three sets when recording here!! Hope everyone is ready for their new week! Excited to see new results! Great job to all of you who have stayed faithful to this program so far :smile:

    Oh and don't forget water water water :drinker:

    hello ladies.

    I just did the challenge or the initial test last week. I'm glad to say that I have skipped Weeks 1 and 2 and I jumped to Week 3. I did Day 1 yesterday and I could definitely feel it in my abs.

    Hopefully, I'll be able to complete the entire challenge. Good luck to us all

    Maybe I am a little confused. I am in week 1. I saw this thread and joined. Where is the details pertaining to the column tracking and the weeks. but.. for now, I am in my first week of sit up challenge trying to make 200. Prior to this week, I could do 40 situps without a problem. I did 40 every other day. I am now pushing to 200 and do them daily.

    Week 4 Day 2 = 225 Situps

    Week 4 Day 3 = 255 Situps

    Going to start on the Squat Challenge as well

    Check in - Week 4 / Day 1 / Column 3

    32 / 32
    38 / 38
    32 / 32
    32 / 32
    max = 70

    Total = 204

    I didn't do as well today as I did Day 3 of Week 3, but then again I am feel pretty lousy and probably shouldn't have done these tonight. I could have used the energy for getting better. Oh well - trying to stick with the plan.

    By the way, I didn't read anywhere about whether or not our goal is to do 200 without stopping. I'm assuming that's what we are to do, but just clarifying.

    Just read further and see we are now recording our squats and push-ups. I started these when I started the sit-ups, so here is where I am:

    Push-ups - Week 4 / Day 1 / Column 3
    18 / 18
    22 / 22
    16 / 16
    16 / 16
    max - 25 (I had to break after 16 for 30 seconds and then finish the last 9)

    Total = 97

    Squats - Week 4 / Day 1 / Column 3
    29 / 29
    34 / 34
    29 / 29
    29 / 29
    max - 80

    Total = 201
