I am posting a 30 day challenge to start my core training and get ready for my first tough mutter next year. The challenge is 100 sit-ups (any style) a day for 30 days and as many pushups (any style) as you can. If you miss a day, you have to make that day up somehow.

I'm hoping this challenge will keep people focused on fitness during one of the biggest drinking/eating seasons of the year. Good luck to all who are up for it and I will post my tracking once a week.

Happy Turkey Challenge!!!!

    I forgot to report in. Oopsie. I did mine like Islabella. I did crunches and leg lifts instead of full-on situps. And then, like HRBush, I kept forgetting. I'm trying to make it a habit.

    Nov 1 - 80 crunches 50 leg lifts 45 push-ups
    Nov 2 - 100 crunches 60 leg lifts 45 push-ups
    Nov 3 - forgot
    Nov 4 - 100 crunches 80 leg lifts 30 push-ups
    Nov 5 - out of town and forgot again!
    Nov 6 - 100 crunches 60 leg lifts 30 push-ups
    Nov 7 - forgot

    p.s. Someone lost a bet last night and is going to pay for it! ;)

    Your abs are muscles too and need the time to recover. Will working them like that everyday allow them to do that? The same goes for your push ups.
