Help Me Find My Motivation!
Today has been hard to find my motivation. I got up and ready to go for a run and had the kids in the car when I realized my back tire was almost flat.

Can't Do a Full Sit-Up
I cannot do a sit-up. I have tried and tried and I can come up only halfway unless someone has their hands on my feet. I asked my Bootcamp Instructor about it and she said it was because I had a C-Section, so my lower ab muscles have depleted. Any ideas on how to get the lower ab muscles strong again?
