Hey everyone!

wondering if anyone would like to do this challenge with me and a few of my MFP friends!

Please read this site http://www.twohundredsitups.com/

you have to an initial test to work out what collum you can work from (click on day 1 once youve done initial test to understand this) :)

The programme says monday, Wednesday and fridays, are good days to make this work. So it anyone who wants to participate does the initial test today (sunday/monday) and then we can all get started properly on monday for week one ()

I thought we could post in how weve done every day we work out?


so here we go....

Initial test: 14 sit ups

(i am using an abdominal cruncher)

:)

    Hi,

    Ok just checked out the website, thought was really good, so down on the floor to see what I could manange (not done any sit ups for around 6 months (used to do regular) anyway managed 75, I have a sit up bench and used to do 50 forward and fifty to each side but got fed up of seeing no progress, I run regular now, and have just started doing a workout dvd (30ds) so going to start incorporating sit-ups in so happy to join, only I do go away for just over 2 weeks a week on Monday so wondering if any point joining now or waiting till I return?? I will do this week but then will be missing for a while :)

    Im a sucker for a challange :) and when I read how many needed do thought right come on....lol (could hurt in the morning) sometimes only encouragement you need is that others are doing it to and it gives you that push you need :)

    Ugh! That was way more work than I remember the first time I tried this a few months ago!!! But I've gotta start somewhere, right?! The first time I ran it hurt but it got better and now I actually enjoy it! Maybe situps will be the same? Okay, probably not, but I'm trying to be optimistic!
