50 000 Sit-Ups This Year - 2010 Challenge

SugarSpun

I'm sitting here with my post-baby and post-Christmas tummy bulging over my trousers and have resolved to do 50 000 situps by the end of the year. Does anyone want to join me, or set their own situp goal, or just cheer me on? (Or tell me I'm out of my mind and should eat another biscuit?)

I'm going to keep a daily tally of situps done and, if this thread takes off, post a weekly update of situps completed and how many are left to do. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join in

So, as of today, 7th February:
1) Sugarspun - 2745/50000 situps
2) aless02
3) Neonic - 10/50000 situps
4) Toothsmith - 50/50000 situps

ah yes, but what's that average per day and per week? That's the real challenge!

Also you would need to loose the excess weight if you feel you have any otherwise you'll just be trying to tone whats there and it either wont work or you'll still have a belly but a firmer one depending on where your starting from:)

The average would be 138.1 per day or 962 per week, but I was planning on starting smaller and working up

I have 7kg to lose and am a member of the Baby Weight Shifting Club as well, so I'll be shrinking and toning during the year.

Good luck!!!

Good for you, best of luck:) I bet you land up doing more than that each day, they are quite addictive especially when you see a result.

Shifting the weight too will definately help.Doing them whilst listening to music or having the tv on will help pass the time:o.
You can do it,let us know how you get on and what the end result is.

Neonic

I'm in. I'm currently doing slimming world. I have lost 1 and a half stone already and will be starting training for a 10k run and half marathon this week. I think doing the sit ups will help tone my stomach.

I've never really done anything like this before so hopefully I will stick to it. I have just done 10 so thats a start at least. 10 down 49990 to go

SugarSpun

Well done Neonic 10's a good round number to start, and congratulations on your weight loss!

I'm on 40 for the day, only 49 960 to go.

Toothsmith

I'd have 49,950 to do on 31 Dec 2010

Do you have a sit up machine (one of the little roller things) or are you just doing them? The machines make you use the correct muscles where as a lot of people just doing them use the wrong muscle groups which will not help tone you.

If you don't have one it is worth trying on freecycle as it is something that I have often seen on ours (or put a wanted on there)

Good luck with it.
