    45 crunches ... I felt every one. I think I can. I think I can. I think I can.

    LOL, I didn't feel them yesterday, but I feel them now. But I was at a concert last night dancing none stop, so that might have added to it. Great Job !

    A concert ... what fun! I have not gone to a concert since the twins came along. Good for you!

    Can we do the stand up sit up and crunches, they are so much easier, and so much better for the back ?


    I believe our main goal is to work our core this month, so I would say yes! Do you agree, ladies?

    Queenstl, I agree with BJB66. I think you should do what is best for your body. Listen to your body's needs. Work it, girl!:smile:

    Tacked on 30 crunches to my exercise routine today. -->770 to go

    continue to do 30 crunches as part of my floor routine all the way through July 6, which equates to 180 crunches done-->620 to go. I might take Sunday off.

    Hello
    I was MIA for a bit between camping last weekend, new kittens adoption and having internet service issues at home. Glad to see all the progress on core training so far. I have been running and kettle bell training but haven't decided on my plank challenge lay out yet. I'll post it tomorrow.

    I forgot about using my ball to make this easier, I looked up on youtube to watch some video's on how to do them and it helped out a lot. This will help me get thru this.

    Wonderful, Queenstl! I've never tried using a ball. Sounds like it would make it fun. I am going to try doing crunches at the gym today with weights. I am going to start with 30 lbs. and see how that goes. Wish me well!!:wink:

    Way 2 Go ! I wishing you everything with using 30 lb weights, lol. Yeah using the ball makes it easier for me to even do a sit up, lol Maybe after I get my core together I will have the strength to do them the old fashion way, lol

    Hi all! My computer is not functional well, at all (it's really old). I have had nearly no access to any web sites. It might even shut me out again before I finish typing, :grumble: Just wanted to let you know I am keeping track of my exercise and adding it on here once we get a new computer!

    Keep up the good work!! :happy:
