Oops sorry Im late- Dr. Appt
150 CRUNCHES!
Any kind you prefer. Standing even if that's all you can manage.
Break them up into sets if need be.
Post once to accept the challenge and again (before midnight) when completed
If this is your 3rd week I encourage you to beat your previous # by at least 10 and add new best to your completion post!
Are you down? It's CRUNCHTIME!

From http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/blogs/the-human-condition/2009/06/03/stop-doing-sit-ups-why-crunches-don-t-work.html :
“We stopped teaching people to do crunches a long, long time ago,” .... That’s because the “full flex” movement—the actual “crunch” part of crunches – puts an unhealthy strain on your back at its weakest point.
"And of course, when people do crunches, they rarely stop at one or two: in the quest for flat abs, they’ll churn out dozens at a time, bringing them ever closer to “flex intolerance”—so much pain and stiffness that it’s difficult to tie one’s shoes or bend down to pick a penny off the ground."0 -
