Extreme Veteran 348 Cary, NC | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! I clearly overstated my pushup ability in my original goal. After tw days on and one off, my elbows are shot. In order to get the long term benefit from this challenge, I am reducing my 1st week pushup goal to 3 x 15 for 5 days. I will still increase by 5 per set per week and my crunches will not change. |

Master 2005 South Florida | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! tnickerson - 2007-12-02 7:25 AM Since we have some very fit and talented people in this challenge, I have a question for you guys. (don't think this is terribly off topic, we can move it if you think it is) What is the difference (result wise) between a crunch and a situp. I have a hard time cranking out 30-40 situps in a pop, but can do 100 crunches without too much problem. Is one more beneficial than the other for the abs? Here's one researcher's opinion: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3160355.stm Crunches will isolate better...Situps will include more of a chain of core muscles, including hip flexors. As in anything, variety is the spice of life! One of my clients for a long time couldn't do a single situp, even with her feet being held. She can now do 3 sets of 20, without anyone holding her feet. I try to include a little bit of everything on a continual basis.
addendum...I think from the same researcher...good info, IMHO: http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2003-08/mcog-rpv081503.php Edited by Mimir98 2007-12-05 10:34 AM |

Master 1675 Suwanee, Ga. | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Well...two days down and 1 to go. My arms feel like they have a life of their own...one that does not include me or my brain. And the way my abs feel...well lets just say that while I was bent over getting my shoes tied this morning I looked around on the floor and said to myself...**Is there anything else I can do while I am down here and save the effort**  Hope this challenge is helping others as much as it is me. |

| Member 7 El Cajon, CA | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! I know it's a bit late, but I'd like to join! It's crazy that I've been complaining about my baby belly all year, but haven't made time for crunches. Somehow, this one post will motivate me to actually do something! My goal is: 200 crunches per day...working up to 300 by the end of the month 10 pushups, 2x per day...working up to 20 pushups, 2x per day Thanks for starting this! |

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Checking in - Days 1-5 I did my crunches & pushups as promised (and I'm already able to tell that I'm getting better!) Day 6 I did one of my 2 weekly Around the World workouts. Today - I'm supposed to do another Around the World, but I may shift that a bit...and just do 3 times next week so the total month count is the same. Looking forward to the increase in reps...  |

Expert 929 Hawaii | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Just checking in, and I'm sorry to report that I've already fallen behind. I'm supposed to do everything three times a week, and I've only done them twice this week. On the positive side, I have done the required amount of reps each time. I'll do better next week. |

Extreme Veteran 348 Cary, NC | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Week One is in the books. I never would have made my original pushup numbers, but cutting back for sessions 3-5 made it seem like it was doing me some good. Week 1 totals 600 crunches and 315 pushups. Week 2 is 5 x 3 x (50 crunches and 20 pushups). Go get 'em everyone! Edited by kapinto 2007-12-07 5:50 PM |
