December Abs Challenge - Sign Up and Report Here

[gman]

Hello everyone!

End of the calendar year prompts that "I gotta get in shape!" mantra. What better way than adding abs to your new routine? One lady November challenger reported a smaller "tummy" (aka 'gut' for the guys).

If you'd like to get into the December Abs Challenge, please sign up and report your progress here.

Get a head start on being in shape for Spring/Summer 2009.

You can sign up any time now including during December.

All are welcome!

Best Regards,
Gman

December Abs Challenge Rules

To enter this challenge, just reply to the thread with your total commitment for the month. Be sure to post your screen name and commitment such as 'gman 0/5000' in the list alphabetically.

Then starting Dec. 1, do your abs and then go to the last page of the thread and copy the list of challengers from the latest posting, then paste it into your posting. Then edit your running total, such as 'gman 100/5000'. If you hose it up with a wicked copy/paste, we'll fix it, who cares just do the abs!

Any abs exercise counts. A lot of ADBB members do crunches on the floor or on a stability ball. Mix it up and make it fun so you do a lot.

Besides being in great shape - the inches will fly off with abs - you can get one of the Challenge stickers like the one I have below.

See you in the Challenge!

PS: If you do 2,000 or more, you'll get a Dang that's a lotta abs!

I figured for those of us doing Thanksgiving today, or holiday eating in general, I'd better get this December Abs Challenge going!

I've dropped the dummbells with abs and just do crunches. As Austin Powers might say, "I'm diggin' the abs baby!"

I would like to do this challenge as well.
I'm going to aim for 1240, that would equal 40 a day. If I feel like I am flying thru these, I will up my goal. But since this is my first I don't want to aim for something I can't reach. Yay, I'm excited for abs

I could tell a difference in my waist the month I did these (Oct). I was lazy in November and now need to get back in the game.

I am in for 2000

I aimed low in November and I regret it, because once I reached my goal, I got lazy.

I will push myself (AND SUCCEED) at 2500.

This is exactly what I need to get back to feeling great about my tummy. Plus, it is a very good first challenge, I think!! Count me in for 50 a day, so 1550 in December!!

What I like about these posts, besides your dedication to yourselves which is huge, is that we have a mix of some new challengers diving in for the first time, and others who are returning and making adjustments based on their learning as they progress.

Hope to see many more of each - for this important challenge!

I'm in again too. I didn't think I could make goal last time but I did it, plus went for the 'Dang' too. I see you dropped that but I wish you hadn't because it really motivated me to keep going. Anyway, I love this challenge!
