Default November ABS Challenge

Wow, it's November already! Well, we need to keep those ABS strong all year round so here we go again!

This challenge is open to everyone and there is no cut-off date for joining.

You can do any type of abs exercise you wish including sit-ups, leg-ups, knee-ins, stability ball or any of the exercise machines for abs.

Just add your name to the list alphabetically and tell us how many movements you pledge to do. Mine will look like this: 0/2000.

Awards will be listed in the Celebration! forum at the end of the challenge.

Default Re: November ABS Challenge

Ok, I might as well make everything sore from top to bottom.

I am going to start small though.
I'll do 300. That's 10 per day.
Something is better than nothing.

Default Re: November ABS Challenge

Welcome barrnone and Taters Momma! I'm glad to see you join.

Just a hint for Taters Momma, it would be better if you did 20 reps every other day so that your muscles have time to heal and grow between exercises. It really does make a difference. I spent 2 months working out everyday and it seemed to get harder instead of easier but when I started taking that rest day, I got much stronger. I hope this helps.

Default Re: November ABS Challenge

Well, November starts tomorrow I did try an ABS challenge before but "stuff" got in the way. This time I'll follow Nyna's suggestion to Taters Momma of doing them every 2nd day. (And of course I already know this good grief!) I will also start slowly and see where it gets me. One more sleep and don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour tonight, for those that do

Marvelous !!! Thanks for putting this together and hosting it. I'm thinking this makes the last challenge for me this month though
Since I'm just getting involved, and haven't done a crunch in way too many months, let's put me down for 500.
