    Week 1, Day 1 done!

    Since I only did 10 for the initial test, I started on the far left column. However, I maxed out at 12 on the last set, so I think tomorrow I'm going to move over to the middle column. I just hope I'm doing them in the proper form.... *crossing fingers*

    Doing great, make sure to take your rest day to give the muscles time to repair themselves. ckitchens mentions the form in her last form, but you can always google it as well.

    Have a great night!

    I would like to join this challenge as well. I maxed out at 60, but I'm going to repeat the test tomorrow to see if the number is the same. I'll officially start the challenge on Friday.

    Ive been using the app that you can get on the iphone along with the squats one by the same people. I'm currently doing week 3 day 3 and did 100 today and 55 squats.

    Did my 'test' yesterday and will start program today. I did not do great at all, only 12 :( I even got my husband to do it with me. Looking forward to seeing my results!

    Made through week 1 day 2, thought I was going to die via sit up. Made it through, may add an extra rest day before completing the week. Not sure yet, wait till I know how I feel then.

    Everyone is doing a great job, keep up the awesome work!!!

    Well my "initial test" was postponed due to a stomach bug, but I was able to do that today. I was shocked when I was able to do 80-good form crunches in a row! I think this is due to the pilates I've been doing 2-3 times a week for the past couple months. I guess they're not kidding when they say that's good ab work! Who would have thought that beneath that layer of flab there were some strong ab muscles down there?

    As a result,they've suggested I start on week 3. I'll do doing so on Monday so I can follow a MWF schedule.

    Once I'm done with this one, I'd like to either try the squat challenge or the push up challenge. To be honest, the squat one sounds more appealing. I have no upper body strength. I doubt I can do 5 good-form modified push-ups.

    Great jobs on the crunches, that's incredible. I am start day three of situps tonight, wish me lots of luck.

    I agree pilates is great work out. I do mine by video, the half is laid off until warmer weather and has seems to have become permantly attached to the remote so haven't had the chance. Miss it!

    Did Column 3, Week 1, Day 1 - Did all four sets and ended with 51. Keeping good form and holding yourself in the upward position for a full second really puts some emphasis on your abs. Next time will be Monday.

    51 that rocks!!! Day three was hard for me, going to repeat it tomorrow.

    Week 1, Day 3: 12/15/11/11/25

    Need to continue working on breathing and staying in the upward position. I'm pretty sure the only reason I was able to do 25 was because I hardly stayed up at all on the last few.... Really I probably only did 20. I need to remind myself next time that it is quality over quantity!!

    Way to go, Cindy!! (ckitchens) Oh, and love your current profile pic!! Here we go Steelers, here we go! :drinker: :laugh:
