Two Days Left--There's Still Time
Get your 100 Situps completed within the next two days (DEADLINE: 5:00PM CST) and comment your completion on the original post to be eligible for this CONTEST! Please read the original post HERE for contest rules and to post in the comments there for an official entry.
What Is It?
The Challenge is to complete 100 Situps, in order to build strength and stamina in the core. But how you do this, depends on your abilities:
Beginners: Accumulate 100 Situps throughout the week before the contest deadline
Intermediate: Accumulate 100 Situps every other day, for a total of 350 Situps for the week (you can start late, but realize you have to complete 350 before the deadline)
Advanced: Accumulate 100 Situps a day, for a total of 700 Situps throughout the course of the week (you can start late, but realize you have to accumulate 700 before the deadline)
A Situp?
Nothing too technical here, we call this a Hands-To-Laces Sit-up:
Original Photo
- Lie face-up on the ground, arms overhead
- Reach your arms toward your feet as you Situp
- Attempt to touch your shoelaces, if possible
- At the top of the Situp, your shoulders should be stacked over your hips
- Lie back down, pulling the belly button toward the spine as you return to the start with control
The Challenge
Here's what you've been waiting for! I'm challenging our Steemit Community to complete the 100 Situp Challenge for the benefit of strengthening your core. As if that's not incentive enough, I'll award a random Challenger, who completed their challenge level, 50% of the SBD from that post once it is paid out. To enter:
- COMPLETE the 100 Situp Challenge!
- COMMENT on the original post that you completed it before the deadline of 5:00PM CST
- UPVOTE the original post to increase the reward pool
- RE-STEEM the original post to increase visibility of and participation in this Challenge
After payout, I will randomly select the winning comment from a Challenger who completed their challenge and transfer 50% of the SBD from that post to their wallet.

Hi! My name is Coach JJ and I've been coaching and inspiring athletes to better health and fitness for over five years! I'm a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer at CrossFit Edwardsville in Edwardsville, IL, USA. But, my vision is to bring together the Fitness Community on Steemit in order to have a greater impact on improving the health and fitness of our fellow Steemians.
I'm also a mother of two teens and a self-defined “spicy, sassy Christ-follower” who posts about my personal journey, but loves all those on any journey. Feel free to check out my intro post, get inspired on your fitness journey, or ponder on my faith-based posts. If any of this connects with you, follow me and say Hello!
Happy Steeming,

Last day. Woohoo! The third and fourth days, I was so sore it took almost a full minute for me to stretch my stomach completely! I thought I'd never be able to sit up without assistance ever again. LOL! But it's almost back to normal now. ;)

I know right! I was the same way on days 3&4. The last day was harder for me mentally (I think I was distracted), but not nearly as sore and recovered quicker! Glad it was a good challenge for ya 😉
