Hey guys. This sounds like fun, but I'm gonna have to wait... right now I can hardly do 10 to 15 in one go, which is just enough for the spark workout I have prescribed. On friday I'll try stacking a lot of sets throughout the day and hopefully hit 50.
KE7CWM: Sorry don't remember the name I read below, but is that a HAM call sign? The reason I ask is because I just registered as a Tech in January and my callsign is KE7GLI... looked similar.
Good luck all, and nice to meet you! (I'm originally from Washington State!)

| I tried listening to music and reading a book, but I just get bored with the lack of scenary. My wife will throw on a movie and exercise forever. I think the longest I've been able to exercise at home is about 1 hour on the elliptical.

|
|
| Hey Matt thats true for me too. if its fun and entertaining exercise is much easier. I watch tv sometimes while on that air walker of mine and that pases the time pretty well Jeff
|
|
|
|
| Jeff....I hear ya!!! You'd think we lived in Seattle the way it's been raining here. I had to use the exercise bike to get my cardio yesterday. About 40 minutes worth. I just get bored when I'm exercising inside. I'd rather be riding in the mountains instead.

|
| Hey Matt I did get my bike dusted off, just waiting for the rain to stop
|
|
|
|
| I keep forgetting to post here. Still at task every day 100pushups/500crunches sometimes a little more and sometimes a little less. feelin great tho

|
| Wow that sounds like a great trail. Eugene is known for its bike trail along the willamette river
|
|
|
|
| Jeff...lol...I love biking now. We have a place in our "backyard" called Nisens Marks National Park. It looks like the forst you have in your picture there. It's amazing to ride through the woods. The trail we ride runs along a river/creek the entire way, it's one of my favorite things to do on a sunny day.

|
| Hey Matt, thats it Im getting by bike out today
|
|
|
|
| no pushups or crunches today, just a 2 hour bike ride
|
|
|
|
| I ended up with 60 crunches yesterday and 75 minutes of cardio. Great job to you guys that are doing 500 and 600 crunches. Great job to everyone that is getting those exercises in.
|
|
|
|
| 600 crunches, 150 pushups and some extra stuff
|
|
|
|
| 500 crunches 100 pushups 3 sets of concentration curls, no cardio today
|

Hey Matt, Great Job, I need to get my bike out and dusted offfor the summer
500 crunches, 100 pushups and 120 min cardio.
Jeff
|
|
|
|
| 96 minute ride through the mountains today
|
|
|
|
| I am going to continue with the crunches and the puchups. Its hard but I am noticing a difference in how I feel and look. I will try to add in the cardio program. 3-4x per week 20-30 min and reach a sustained high heart rate. Keep up the good work everyone.

| Count me in. I'm also going to try to do as many crunches as I can. (Not to the point where I'm going to kill myself though). If I could do 50-100 crunches a day, I would be happy with that.
|
|
|
|
Jeff,
Great idea, I'm in for it!
matt

Dudes!
I'm definitely a slacker! But, 10 minutes of cardio a day (currently schedule a minimum of 30 minutes, 4 days a week) and/or 20 3X per week sounds doable.
|

Matt
Maybe just back to basics would be best. 10 minutes of cardio a day or 20 3x per week. Who cant use more cardio. Use the "track other exercises" on the SparkPoints page to track it and get points just the same. I need to find a good lower ab exercise to go with all these crunches.

Jeff,
Yeah I noticed the same thing. I'm thinking it's a combination of people being busy, but more of a difficulty are the high numbers on the crunches and pushups. I'm thinking we all should think of a new challenge with lower numbers. Somthing more people feel comfortable with.
Any ideas?
Matt

| Hey Matt, it seems most people have lost intrest in this thread based on the lack of posts in here. I didnt post for a couple of days but have tried to meet this challenge everyday so far. The puchups are by far the hardest. Jeff
|
|
|
|
| 500 crunches and 60 or so pushups so a little shy of the challenge but I did add 2 sets of curls, 25 mmin of basketball and a 20 minute medium paced walk with my dog
|
|
|
|
| Only 50 pushups today but we walked around Seattle Center all day my feet are killing me. Ate Lunch at the top of the Space Needle. Awsome

| Well I didn't get much done yesterday.. about 150 sit ups but no push-ups.. today though it's 5:45 and i'm at 125 sit ups and 40 pushups... and this is before my trip to the gym tonight.. should have no problem with hitting my goal today
|
|
|
|
way to go Jeff! I didn't get anything done today. Long day at work and a friend over for dinner. I have a busy weekend planned ahead too, hopefully I'll get some done.

|
| 50 pushups so far but did lots of walking about 3-4 hours. I will do maybe 25 or 30 more pushups tonight but the walking had made me sore.
|
|
|
|
| Way to go Dennis! Getting to 50% is a big accomplishment with the type of goal(s) we've set. =)

|
| Well I was able to get to my goal of 50% again today but man am I hurting.. I definately need to try and space this out throughout the day rather than do it all in the evening before bed
|

Starting late - but count me in. Like one of the other guys - I have no problem with cardio, but doing strength training is tough for me to do.
This challenge might help me get going.
|
|
|
|
| at least you got some exercise! =)
|
|
|
|
| I didn't do one push-up or crunch yesterday! I did play a softball game last night..... darn, that doesn't count!
|
|
|
|
I was thinking about that too. I would say whatever you comfy with counts. I even thought about maybe the goal could be 500 pushups and 2500 crunches in a week. So, whatever feels right to you works for me. The main idea is to push us to do them.

|
| The challenge was for 5 days a week. Does today count as a day? What do you think
