Who wants to take the SIT UP CHALLENGE with me?

Day 2 (for me) - 75 sit ups DONE!
And also did the plank (couldn't hold it very long though!)

**~StarBright~** · November 13th, 2010, 08:55 PM

Ok i did my 75... had to have a break between the 50 and the last 25.. but i got there...

I also discovered that i literally CAN NOT do it without using my arms to help me up a bit.. so my personal goal is after the seven weeks to actually be able to them properly- and even though im not doing them 100% right now- IT STILL HURTS lol So i have come to conclusion that having my arms kind of under my butt is what works for me- i still use my stomach muscels, but i have that support there too- which i hope the stronger i get the less i will rely on it!!

I am going to buy some scales on monday too- and i have been using my excercise bike semi regularly, which i will step up a bit and make sure i do either bike or situps in the morning and then the other at night. So far i average 2ks in 5 minutes on the bike (on the 2nd lowest setting) so i will hopeully up that a bit too!!!

MANTRA>>>>>> I WILL LOOK DAMN HOT IN SWIMMERS THIS SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!

did my day 2 = 75

I find that if I cross my hands across my chest I use my stomach muscles better (that and the tongue on the roof of the mouth)

125 for me today, not so easy with a belly full of birthday cake !!!

Will do this infamous plank too, and time it for fun!

I've got a video of the plank which I used in the Fat Chic Slim 'around the world' weekly challenge...There are options for beginners and advanced people. You can make it a challenge by seeing how long you can hold it for in one hit (for me on average its about 15 mins, but remember, I have a big background in the fitness industry, so don't use me as a benchmark, 4-5 mins would be pretty darn impressive).

(I hope you're on FB....)

If so, log onto to FB and search for Fat Chic Slim - there are 2, they're both mine though, but go to the Group (we no longer use the group - so don't join that one, (its just the location where the plank video is) however you're all welcome to join the other FCS page). Click on the 'video' tab, and watch the video titled 'plank / hover'.

In the event you can't view the video without join - just send me the request to join and I'll approve it.

FYI - on you tube there are other challenge type exercises I had videoed for the Fat Chic Slim challenges I gave the girls - just type in Fat Chic Slim into the search field in you tube and take your pick

**~StarBright~** · November 16th, 2010, 05:06 AM

**Sopdet** · November 16th, 2010, 05:32 AM

I had to swap my rest day, so will be back on the horse today

**Raupe** · November 16th, 2010, 07:30 AM

Day 5: 150 DONE!!

**Raupe** · November 18th, 2010, 12:04 PM

so yesterday was my rest day.
Today (day7) I did 150 sit ups, because I didn't realise we only needed to do 100

Oh I'm so silly!

So, what happens after day 7?

**littlemissmountain** · November 18th, 2010, 12:14 PM

I'm out ladies

struck down by some gastro bug for the last two days and feeling totally fatigued and nauseous.
VERY darn impressed with your efforts though... gonna be some sexy mamas at the beach this summer!

**~StarBright~** · November 18th, 2010, 09:14 PM

I will be honest.. i have been very slack- i only got 80 done yesterday and none today_ although with my personal goal i am doing more of them correctly, i think i need to work up to it a bit more- i might stick to a regualr amount everyday- is it ok to still pop in here for support even if i am not sticking to it 100%?????
