Ok ladies and gentlemen...I have just nicknamed myself Captain Crunch, lol ! I am going to make myself in charge of Crunch-A-Thon's throughout this weight loss journey. I had started this for just myself at first and so many supportive buddies wanted in too and I think it is a wonderful idea. So hear is the fitness challenge...

You have from now (Jan 14th) to get 2000 ab crunches completed by the end of Valentine's Day (approx 4 weeks). For those who may be new to buddy slim and see this challenge later on closer to Valentine's Day set yourself a goal of 500 crunches each week until Valentine's Day. I know you can do it. You can break them up however you like. Some are doing about 60 everyday. Myself-I am shooting for 100 a day 5days a week and resting 2 days each week to let the Ab muscles repair and heal from the workout. You can do whatever you like. I like doing the Ab crunches because they are a quick and easy workout throughout your day that really do the job. You can get your crunches done while watching tv during the commercials!!! Crunches are the perfect exercise to squeeze into busy schedules.

By the way, make sure you check out this video to make sure you are doing your crunches properly...even if you believe you are please check for your own safety...

Captain Crunch? -Too funny, but now I'm mad you made me laugh because my abs are sore from all these crunches

I've got in 125 so far. I'm hoping for another 70 today. I think I'm gonna shoot for 3000! I love to challenge myself! Thanks so much for starting this! We could all use a little ab work!
