30 Day Challenges Abs to Arms

30 days, 1610 sit-ups, 2115 crunches, 904 leg raises and 23 min 17 sec of planks, I have completed the 30 Day Ab Challenge. 

And yes it was a challenge.  Much hard than the 30 Day Squat Challenge that I did from June-July.  My abs do feel stronger, but they are unfortunately still hidden underneath my gut.  I challenged some friends and a stranger (a friend's friend from Facebook) to do this with me, but have not checked in with them to see if they completed it yet.  I know a couple of them had kept up, while another is extending it to do at her own pace, which is fine.  I myself was not without my own struggles.  I have some tight muscles which causes some discomfort on my spine.  I am seeing a Chiropractor for that.  While doing this ab challenge, especially during the second week, I've noticed that my back has been much tighter.  I am hoping that since I'm now done, my back won't cause me as much problems.

2 weekends ago, I was headed to the cabin for 2 nights, which turned into 3.  I decided to skip a rest day and get ahead in my challenge.  It was a good thing, because I missed a workout and drew even.  That next week, I ended up falling behind a day as well.  Day 28, I did catch up and was able to completed the Challenge within the intended 30 days.

This weekend is another cabin weekend, so Steph and I decided we'd start the 30 Day Arm Challenge on Monday.

 I'm hoping those who did or at least tried the ab challenge, will join us again for the arms challenge.  I've also recruited a couple others and hope to convince a few more.  I'm thinking that I'll use 10 lbs weights.  I'm sure that 10 bicep curls will be pretty simple, but by day 30, 150 will be tough. I've created a spreadsheet with the workouts specified for Aug 26-Sept 22. 

Let me know if you intend to join us for the arm challenge, and if you do, good luck!
