    Ok, I will try the 2 sets of situps and we will see how many I can actually do in one rep, whether 8 or 15. I will keep trying.

    Ok I just did two sets of 10 and I could definitely feel my abs working but they weren’t that bad. This makes me wonder if I am doing them right. What is they right way to do these things?

    I generally do 50 crunches every other night, i haven’t done sit ups in at least 2 years… i just did it now though… got to 30. Im pretty sure thats really bad considering i’m barely 20 and not very fit…

    I was doing 100 situps daily and not seeing any results (mainly because I was eating like a pig). LOL. Now that I’m dieting and losing weight, I will start doing situps again. Though it will probably take me a while to get back up to 100 a day.

    I used to do 150 sit-ups &/or cruches every night. Now that my backaches have started up again, it kills me to even do 30.
    Hopefully I can convince my mom to get me an exercise ball so I don’t have to put so much pressure on my spine.

    I actually did mine two days ago, and will do more today. They are soo much more intense on the exercise ball.
    Which translates to faster results.

    I’m up for a couple sets. And I’m going to try very hard to keep good form. They’re so much harder to do when you do them the right way :-)

    Whew, sit ups are a bit harder than I remember. I just can’t seem to keep my feet in one place. Any suggestions?

    Actually I’ve been doing sit-ups since the beginning of February. I’m trying to get myself into shape for the rigorous physical requirements at the Naval college I will be attending this fall.

    I use three different pieces of weight equipment for my core, they are like situps, but you can adjust the motion and the weight you use. I’ve challenged myself to increase each machine by 5 lbs.

    This should be a breeze since my Pilates class is tonight. Does that really count as a challenge or is that cheating?

    I did 2 sets of 12, but I’m so used to doing crunches that I don’t know if I even did them right! I know I’ll feel this later!
