RE: The 200 sit-ups challenge
Good to have you along, Tom.

I kicked off my effort this afternoon. Decided to use an exercise ball, having read that this is a more effective way of executing a sit-up. Must admit it was a rather farcical session, with me expending as much effort on keeping my balance on top of the ball as I was on the sit-ups themselves. But I'll persist. Improving balance is a key part of this core-strengthening campaign, so I'll hope to achieve greater mastery as I proceed.

For the record, I managed the 9-9-6-6 quite comfortably, and was able to add 20 at the end. However, I'm not sure how much difference the ball made to the difficulty. Remember: this isn't a contest, so no need to feel too competitive. I'm more concerned about completing the 6 weeks than I am about doing more than anyone else.

So I reckon the sit-up gang is now:

Antonio
El Gordo
MLCM
Suzie
Sweder
Tom

No need to post after every session, but an occasional update would be appreciated.
El Gordo

Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
