Crunch Crunch Crunch

Alright, so with Goal #1 out of the way (keeping up with this here blog) it's now time to move onto Goal #2.

Yesterday I stumbled across a fitness page via stumbleupon.com (one of my favorite time passing activities or boredom cures!) that was titled "Two Hundred Sit-ups." I thought for a second if I could do 200 sit-ups(really crunches as I later read), and after some wishful thinking I must say I can't.

I remember back in 7th grade PE we had a new teacher, Mr. Pieri. He was young and fit and most kids didn't like him because he expected a lot out of us. But the one thing I remember most is that during warm ups he made us do 100 crunches. There was always lots of groaning and complaining from everyone it seemed but me. I loved the challenge of this simple exercise that I was actually good at! From then on I have always taken small pride when it's time to do abdominals!

Fast forward to present and I don't even know if I can do 100 crunches anymore. Somewhere between the college lifestyle and being plain lazy, I seem to have lost it. Sure I will get into doing ab routines every once in a while but they only last a week at most and then I end up right back where I started.

So, I'm hoping this time will be different and Goal #2 is to complete the Two Hundred Sit-ups 6 week program. I have exactly 6 weeks till school starts so I can't waste any time falling behind. Here goes nothing!
