August Exercise Challenge

[Natasha]

Alright, folks, it's time for our August Exercise Challenge thread. The dog days of Summer are about to start for most of us, so what better time to get out and sweat your ass (and some calories) off??? Join up and get your booty moving!!! You can do as little or as much as you want to and your goal can be whatever you want it to be (whether it's so many minutes, so many workouts, so many pounds lost, or whatever).

If you will just post your new workouts in subsequent posts, I will merge them for you. Please do not quote your original post as it only makes more work for me. Thanks!!!

My goal this month is going to focus more on crunches than time. So my goal for this month is 1000 minutes of exercise w/ a PRIMARY goal of at least 2500 crunches using my Perfect Sit-up. I reached my goal of 1550 crunches last month and I can already tell a difference in my stomach.

Total so far: 845 minutes + 2600 crunches
