Extreme Veteran 303 Champaign, Illinois | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! I'm up to 40 pu and 70 crunches. The crunches are still finishable, but the pushups are hitting me by the third set. I usually have to rest in the middle of the 3rd for a few seconds or soo. |

Extreme Veteran 301 Metro Atlanta | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Third week down on schedule. Lesson learned: Don't miss a day and have to make it up!!! Those 300 crunches were rough!! This has been a great help. I think the increased core strength has helped with my running. I feel more confident and think I can finish the Goofy without dying! Is next Friday the official end of this challenge?

Iron Donkey 38643   , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! 3rd week accomplished! 3 days - plus 1 day - Total - 150 pushups + 60 pushups = 210 pushups, 150 crunches/situps + 60 crunches/situps = 210 crunches/situps. Total for 3 weeks: With no more swimming for next week over the holidays, I'll attempt to double that total in the final week. Also, I want to wish everybody - HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

| Extreme Veteran 484 El Cajon, Ca | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Hey Saling It has been a while since I checked in. I am on track with my 10/100 per day. I missed one day with my cold, but I kept up the other days. Thanks for stepping up as the leader! |

Champion 5807 Henderson NV | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Not much of a leader ABUD, but I appreciate the confidence. Are you feeling like it is doing any good? Have you tried bumping up your daily total by a few extra? |

| Extreme Veteran 484 El Cajon, Ca | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! It is definately getting easier to do the 10/100. I have not tried to bump them. I have not been feeling well at all this week. Lucky to get them done at all. When I am doing them I think "maybe I should do more" then I don't. I have been keeping my arm and tummy muscles busy by eating. Oh wait, that is a different thread.  |

Master 1675 Suwanee, Ga. | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Was able to finish last week strong...this week however may be a different story. What with the holidays, mother-in-law in the hospitial and extra people sleeping in every freakin room in my house (except for the kitchen and bathrooms)...no I am not kidding...even the living room and den  I was in the kitchen for about 4 hours Fri night and still needed to get in my last 2 sets for the day so I just dropped to the floor and was doing my crunches when my future Daughter-in-law walked in and said "WTH are you doing"...I replyed that I was training and that I was part of an on-line Challenge Group..She rolls her eyes and leaves. 10 minutes later she comes in and I am doing push-ups...she watches for about 5 seconds and calls out for my son and says, "you better come check on your Dad...I think he has gone crazy because someone on-line challenged him to do something nuts". I am spending way more time cooking for folks than I am training. 120 p/u and 360 crunches for the week...still on target and getting a little easier than they were. Thanks for all of the motivation from the group and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Steve |

Extreme Veteran 303 Champaign, Illinois | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! I decided that I'm not using holidays for an excuse! My family has also rolled a few eyes at me, but I'm going to get this (and the rest of my training) done no matter what! Good luck to everyone! |

Veteran 242 Reading, Berkshire (UK) | Subject: RE: PUSH UPS AND ABS CHALLENGE FOR DECEMBER!! Dropped one day last week, but looking to make it up today. I will finish this challenge on target! This challenge is making a huge difference already. I can now push myself out of the (very) deep end of the pool, which might not sound like a lot but is saving a great deal of embarrassment... Plus I'm starting to see my tummy muscles again (ok, so there's still a fair bit of post-baby jelly-belly to contend with, but my obliques are definitely more toned!) |

I am glad I read your entire post...When you said **Dropped one last week** and I was looking at your avitar...well... Congratulations on your progress...I am starting to see something that I think is stomach muscles but it has been so long I don't remember what they look like...and I don't have your very obvious excuse.
