A few others and myself are doing this starting today, and i like to find challenges to do so its open for all. Its 3times a week for 6 weeks and looks like fun here is the link for the official site with instructions http://www.twohundredsitups.com/index.html

post your initial test results (number done and class) and after each day post the day and week (ex:day 2 week 4) and your sit up total, daily weekly and over all.


Lets do this!

    can i ask what you hope to achieve from doing this? theres much more beneficial ways to work your core than doing 200 sit ups

    good luck with it though

    Had a quick skim through the website posted, while the notion of doing sit-ups to get abs is something I've never understood...this does look like a bit of fun. I also noticed the 100 push up challenge which is something I keep wanting to do, but never bother doing it...mainly because when I remember about it, I've already finished my workout (oops!).

    In any case this seems like a nice little challenge.

    We do something similar at boxing were we do 3 sets of sit-ups usually 40 in set 1, 60 in set 2 and 60 in set 3. Rest time between sets is usually the time it takes your partner to complete their sit-ups.

    But I found doing these larger than normal sets of sit-ups is great for endurance, and if you keep good form all the way through the set it does give you a decent workout.

    I think one thing to be very careful about these types of programs is the expectation associated with completing them. As far as I could tell the site never mentioned getting "ripped" and I applaud that.

    So in short, yeah I'll give this a go once I finish my pull-up challenge :)
