The weight has gone up but it's still within my best recent results (before this latest surprise) in my recent weight logging history, for which I'm happy. I was kind of expecting this surprising progress to rebound at any moment :)
Inaccurate body fat percentage from body composition scale: 7.4 % (good within the usual results)
Inaccurate waist measurement across navel: 79.7 cm (I think this has gone up a bit but still great comparing to a few days ago)
I'm now officially having to make breaks between the sets (oops, breaks between "reps", not "sets") in the Ab Challenge (today is day 10)
Yesterday, it was Back, Biceps and Forearm day in my split training. Today is shoulder, abs and core day (Of course that I'm currently participating in the ab challenge so, everyday is ab-day for now lol). I still haven't incorporated core exercises into this day yet but it's already predicted in the title lol and it will become practice in a week or so, after I research some core exercises. :)

I'm sorry I didn't get what you said right at the first time. I'm actually saying I had to divide each set of crunches and Leg lifts ;)Both 30 crunches and 30 leg raises were too much to do all at once (each). This probably shows that, when it comes to abs, I still have a long way to go lol. My abs are definitely sore today heheh. Thanks! ;)

I'm going to exercise right now and I'll be back for a mode in-dept look at the notifications :)

I don't know what happened since yesterday but, today, I was able to do the 50 crunches in one go (I probably did them slower) but I still had to divide the leg raises set. 50 leg raises is just too much lol. The 38 second plank was still easy though :) It's somewhat disproportional but hey. In its totality, this challenge is really murdering my abs lol.

Planking is easy for me. Leg raises ouch! But I miss the burn. Ab exercise has to wait here. I think they are getting enough of a workout holding the baby in. Lol!

This might be a stupid question after 10 days but i am suddenly worried i'm doing the challenge wrong and didn't read everything, do we do 50 leg lifts,crunches, 36 plank once a day or do we repeat the whole thing a few times? I could do it all once in one go(it nearly killed me especially as my dear 1yr old loves to plank along on my back)but it was hard!

Sometimes breaking the sets up is how I do it too. I don't think muscle fatigue gets us anywhere.

(Njashka8) - no you do each one once a day.. when it starts or IF it gets too hard you can break it up like on day 10 it is 50/50/38. If that is too much to do, In the morning do 25/25/19.. depending on which on is worse for you. Crunches are the easiest for me so I will do 50. Leg lifts are getting hard so I am doing 35. Planks r the worst for me so I will probably do 19. then later on I will do the rest.(25/15/19)

Thanks roecampy! Good to know i am doing it right! Leg lifts find hardest too i could just cope with 50 but will have to wait and see when it increases!

Ahahah Iamachristianjesusfreak! :) Yeah, definitely take a break from Abs right now! I agree, leg raises are the worst, and they put a bad pressure on my back. I really don't like doing them. In fact I'm not even doing perfect ones (I'm not lowering completely because that would really be straining my back in a way I don't want). I'll keep doing them until I finish this challenge but, when I do, I probably will not do any more horizontal leg raises lol. I'll stick to the vertical (hanging) ones ;)

It's definitely not a stupid question Njashka since it's is not specified in the challenge. I assumed they intended for the each of the exercises to be done in only 1 uninterrupted set (you'd to all the 50 crunches uninterrupted, then you'd take a break like up to 4 or 5 minutes, then 50 leg raises uninterrupted, then another break then the plank) and be done for the day.
Of course that the challenge doesn't specify whether that 1 set is to be done uninterrupted or if you just have to accumulate that number of repetitions over the day (ex. do 50 repetitions for each exercise in one day, no matter what the rest interval between them), so it's difficult to tell what the objective really is :)

Because of that doubt, I've assumed the challenge is requesting for each of those 3 different exercises to be done in one uninterrupted sequence. But that's just not possible for me when it comes to leg raises :)
12 abr 14 por membro: euheide

I think that, what's important, overall, is that the repetitions are completed, regardless of how much you have to rest between them. :)
12 abr 14 por membro: euheide

Definitely Skwhite! I agree! It's better to interrupt a set but taking it to completion with breaks, than just try doing it all at once and not being able to and stopping.

Thanks very much for the info Roe! :) I wasn't sure about that so that's nice to know. Also it's curious how we have very different difficulties (to you, the plank is the hardest while for me, it's the leg raises that wipe me out lol).

Oops! I found a mistake in my journal which was probably what originated your question Njashka. I meant to say "break between reps" and not "break between sets". Sorry for the confusion! ;)

Darn, I supported my own journal again :P lolol It's a good thing you can undo it! hahah

Thanks i'll just keep doing what i'm doing until it gets too hard in one go and then break it up! Rest day today anyway thank god my lower abs are burning which means those horrid leg raises must be working! I think i'm able to do them in one go because of the many years i did gymnastics my body must remember the gruelling ab work outs!
