Fit Challenge: 26 Day Sit Up Challenge

I'm a little behind with March's challenge, so it won't be quite a 30 day challenge. It will be a 26 day challenge!

I have a beach vacation coming up, so that means I have to bare it all in a bikini. After hiding under multiple layers during this Polar Vortex, imbibing in all those hearty winter beers, and indulging in a little too much comfort food, I'm not all that excited about "bikini time." Its time to work those abs a bit...

I know, I know, belly fat is all about diet; you can't fix it with ab work. But let's assume we're all making some improvements to our diet this month too, in addition to the 26 day sit up challenge.

That's right- March is going to be a sit up challenge!

Now, I'm talking about old school all-the-way up, all-the-way down sit ups. The kind you used to do in gym class in middle school.

We'll officially start tomorrow, though I did 15 just now to get a feel for these old school sit ups..not too hard, but I don't know about 100 of them...

I hope you participate! We'll work our way up to 100 sit ups by the end of the month.

I'm guessing you probably know how to do a sit up, but just in case- here's how you do it!

1. Have your knees bent your feet placed flat on the ground.
2. Place your hands on opposing shoulders, so that your arms are crossed over your chest, or behind your head. 
3. Gently draw in your belly button to your spine
4. Keeping your feet on the ground, slowly and gently lift your head first, followed by your shoulder blades. Focus your eyes on your bent knees, all the while gently contracting the abdominal muscles. 
5. Pull up from the floor until you’re at a ninety-degree angle, or when the elbows are on, or past, the knees.

So simple :-) ! Good luck!
