The CalgaryPuck Situp/Crunch Contest
A ripoff from the CalgaryPuck Pushup Contest. I'm actually surprised nobody else has started a similar thread.
Same rules apply for this thread.
I did 300 crunches yesterday so (obviously) the current total is 300.

Here's a question - how do you do a crunch properly that will actually be effective?

I think a crunch is when you raise your head off the ground, with your knees elevated, but your head does not need to come up to your knees.
A situp is when your head comes up to your knees.
Also, I think on both your hands should be clasped behind your head to put more stress on the abs.

lift to 45 degree angle, keep neck in straight line w/back (don't lift or pull it), and resist hard on the way down. don't rush.

Another tip which I've found works for me:
If you work out regularly, do crunches in between sets. I normally do about 9 sets a work out for each body part, and I do two body parts each day (e.g. 9 sets for biceps and 9 sets for back). Doing 35 crunches or so in between sets means you do 35 X 9 + 35 X 9 = 630 crunches after each work out! I find it a lot easier to do it this way, because it changes the focus from say your arms to your abs and vice versa.

Does sitting up in bed every morning count?

No disrespect, and not that I'm not a bit flattered . . . but I'm not into that.

Man these threads are lame. I tried my best to contribute by doing some situps, but all I did was rock myself to sleep.

I knew you were a pencil pusher!
You carry 1/3 of your weight with your abs. Keeping them in good shape is important.
