Today's challenge: Crunches

Let's see if we can do 200.

Also, let's try and do 50 sit-ups. If you can't do sit-ups that's fine but at least try.

Remember: The new rules are do as many as you can in the first set then do the rest how ever many you want at a time.

Do them the hardest way that you can and practice proper form instead.

You can do the crunches any style you want.
If you can't do them all then do what you can.
The important thing is that you try to do it.
Make sure you stretch and have fun doing them.
Report back when you are done and let us know how you did.

My challenges are open to anyone and you can log these as calisthenics if you like.

    Woo! Did it :D

    I did 50 on my back on the floor, then my shoulders were complaining so I knew my form was crap. So I did 20 on each side real quick then stood for the rest- hand on my belly to check form.

    So split up I did 50, 20, 20- one minute break- 20 (side), 20 (side), 70 standing center

    I honestly didn't think I could do 200. So proud I did it :bigsmile:

    @gemiwing: you should try getting a stability ball for your crunches. My ab workouts became much more effective and eliminated the problem of hurting my back and shoulders. It also gives you extention to get your lower abs. If you really want a challenge then get a medicine ball to add weight to them. Good luck!
