    200 Sit-up Challenge

    http://www.twohundredsitups.com

    Initial test: a disappointing 28.

    Any advances on 28? Remember to hold at the top for 1-2secs

    Won't be doing this challenge until I've finished the Press-Up one, but just tried to do it and got to 50 thinking this is easy.

    Then I realised you were doing crunches and not situps

    I know. I did it and thought I'd be able to knock out at least 100! As they say in the blurb on the site: results may be humbling!! Certainly were!

    I'm gonna do this alongside the press-ups, but will wait until I'm at the start of week 4 (should be Weds).

    Humbling indeed... I thought I would be able to do about 100 too and was surprised to only manage 37...

    As with my press ups, illness made me repeat this again with a view to starting the challenge proper on Monday.
