So I am making myself a challenge and hope everyone comes in with me. Summer will be here soon and I will do 300 crunches a day until then. I normally do not do crunches everyday so who is ready to get those abs in bathing suit shape with me:smile:

    I would LOVE to join you but I'm scared!! I used to do crunches all the time but when I was pregnant with my giant baby my tummy muscle split down the middle. I've been doing my abs 2-3 times a week but only gently. I don't want to do more damage than good. I'll be rooting for you all though :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :drinker: :drinker:

    Owww! 300? I'm in but it's going to hurt. How do you start this? As many as you can per day and work up to 300? Or, many times a day drop and crunch? :laugh:

    Glad you are all joining remember they can be done 50 or 100 at a time different times of the day just get 300 in. I did 125 so far and will do the rest when I watch the biggest loser.

    Yes you can start doing 50 or more and work in more each day you will get there. I did this after I had my kids it works wonders just wait...

    I'm thinking I may split it up. Like 150 regular crunches and 150 reverse crunches. That way, I get both upper stomach and lower stomach workout.

    I wantto do this with you all but I have a problem with my neck, it always bothered me terribly when I did crunches, is there another way I can do them, like maybe lifting my legs to do a crunch that way???

    I did my 300 crunches also last night during BL. My goal is to get them done while watching TV every night.

    Yeah, Pam

    I bought one of Tony Little's Ab lounges and it was great. It put absolutly no strain on your neck or back. Of course my ex had to break it :angry: but it was great when I had it haha

    I'd like to join you, although you really should give your abs a break for the muscle to heal and grow, and do it every 2nd day. Not meaning to lecture or preach or whatever:flowerforyou: , but you'll see more results this way.:wink: I'm doing about 350 3X a week. Trying it this other way, you'll probably do a lot more! Good for you though.:flowerforyou:

    I'm in 300, right? I don't even do 20 now but I am desperate to get moving.
    How about adding 90 push ups to that challenge? (15 reps 6 sets throughout the day)

    Wow...hmmm...I may be interested in this.

    I did 300 today, with a number of trunk twists in between. More later on this as I'm seriously considering this.

    Thanks! :drinker:

    Okay, I suck. I think I have done 150 since I said I would do this last week. I need MOTIVATION, MOTIVATION, MOTIVATION!
