    For this particular challenge I have been doing the same 3 types of crunches and simply varying the amounts of each, dependent on crunches required per day. I do raised leg crunches (with my ankles resting on a bench), then I do right-side oblique crunches followed by left-side oblique crunches and lastly I do straight leg reverse crunches.
    I pop out 20 RL crunches, 10 right, 10 left, 10 reverse and voila! I already have 50. If I do 20 of each, I have 80 so it's pretty easy to add another 20 or 40 on those days when we "have" to do 120 crunches.
    I dislike the squats more than the crunches! I would MUCH rather do 120 crunches than do 120 squats. Hope I didn't jinx myself. I haven't looked at what we have in store for today yet! Lol.

    Day 13 done. Can't believe how much easier 75 squats were today than 50 squats on day 2.

    Day 14: done, but walking the three flights of stairs to my apt is a little slow going now. :).

    Day 15 in process. I took measurements at the beginning of this challenge. Checked measurements today, and I have lost a couple of inches off my waist, about an inch off the hips, and weirdly a half inch off one thigh but none off the other, lol. I'm also eating at a deficit, and have lost a pound and a half since beginning the challenge. :p

    Wow, didn't even realize 15 is a rest day - THANK GOODNESS. I'm feeling really lazy, got bad news from my doctor & just learned the coconut oil I just used because I'm out of olive oil is EXACTLY and SPECIFICALLY NOT what I'm supposed to use as I fight the bad cholesterol fight! Oy vey!

    Great, thank you very much. Completed Day 1 and Day 2 today, because I didn't do any other workout. Added lifting weights in the same time as the squats - shoots 2 birds with one bullet :) Good luck everybody!
