    How's everyone doing!?! Thanks VaniMani and others for keeping this up - I hope we're all feeling great in a couple of weeks!

    Have a GREAT day everyone!

    My abs are KILLING!!!

    Modification for side planks: Do them on the second or third stair - place your hand on the stair instead of on the floor.

    Hi everyone, just checking in :smile: I just finished my abs during lunch and it was a struggle, but I managed to do it! If I don't check back in later this evening, everyone have a great evening and keep up the good work. :smile:

    Side planks on the stairs!! Great idea!! I finished with day 4 today and my abs are feeling good!! Tighter and good, but those side planks have been kicking my butt!! Tomorrow I will try them on the stairs!!

    Everyone keep up the good work over the weekend, see ya on Monday!

    I DID IT!!!!!!!!! First night!!!!!!!!!!:bigsmile: The reverse crunches were the hardest!

    Although I stopped doing the obliques because my left rib started making this popping feeling and it felt really weird. I looked up the video but I still don't think I'm doing the exercise right. Anybody else have that problem?

    There's this really effective ab exercise where you lay on your back and stick your legs in their air. Then you start crossing and un-crossing your legs up and down. It hurts! I think we should add that to our list at some point.

    I think I get that feeling, too, but i just re-adjust myself so that it doesn't do it anymore.

    I almost forgot I had to do abs today and when I just realized it, I was like :grumble: HOnestly, I just had dinner and it's already like 8:00, so I may not do them :embarassed: Not because I'm lazy , but who wants to do abs when they're full (ok, maybe a LEEEETLLE bit of laziness in there :frown: ) We'll see, I'll update everyone tomorrow. Have a good night!

    So what exactly is everyone's reasons for doing the Ab Challenge?

    Mine is to have my core be stronger and less flabby.:blushing:

    To be less flabby too :laugh: but I've always been a bad sloucher, so improving my core strength is a good way to improve my posture

    Hey Guys! How are we doing? Everyone hanging in?

    Should we add to the list for Monday? The leg cross overs sounded good!

    I have limited computer access, so please forgive me if I'm not checking in as regularly.

    Keep up the great work!

    Well, I don't have any time to do the whole routine tonight, so I'll just throw in some crunches right now. I am such a slacker.:grumble: But I promise do a full ab workout tomorrow.
