    Not to burst your bubbles- I love challenges!- but crunches and sit-ups are kind of a waste of time. Better off having a squat/lunge challenge to target bigger muscle groups. Or a burpee challenge for cardio!
    If you MUST do abs, try a plank challenge for to target your whole core and arms, which helps with posture and combating *desk slump"!

    Crunches and sit-ups do NOTHING to flatten your stomach. If you already have a flat stomach and want definition, a clean diet and full-body strength workouts (including core stability like planks) are still the way to go. A friend of mine is a personal trainer and a bikini competitor with like an 8 pack. She stopped doing crunches 2 years ago and her stomach got flatter and her waist got SO much narrower- turns out working her obliques made her much wider!

    This, there's no need to go through crunch hell.
