Last summer we did these 3 challenges and people have expressed the desire to do them again:http://www.twohundredsitups.com/ (modified to crunches)
http://hundredpushups.com/index.htmlhttp://www.twohundredsquats.com/Here is how the challenge is going to work: *Pick one, two, or all of the challenges to do.
*We will start the challenge on Monday the 27 of this month.
*Prior to start, visit the website(s) for your challenge(s) and take the initial test.
*We will do a post every Thursday to discuss problems and accountability.
Important things to note:*situps = crunches. Don't hurt yourself. To make the crunches more effective, feel free to mix it up by adding bicycle crunches, oblique crunches and reverse crunches
*push-ups can be performed modified on knees or standard. For more of a challenge, planks could be added between sets.
*If you have completed the challenge before and need a greater challenge, consider doubling the amounts per day and definitely throw in some more difficult moves.
*If you find the challenge too difficult, there is no shame in doing less or altering to a slower pace. Everyone has different abilities and the goal is to work towards building a healthier and stronger YOU. The most important thing is safety. The second most important thing is to have fun!
If there are any questions, feel free to page me here on GIS or send me a private message. I'm more than happy to help you set up a plan that works for you.
