Having seen this on the Book of Face I thought I'd give it go (I want to improve my core strength anyway).
A combination of sit ups, crunches, leg lifts and planking ...
Day Two and it's easy so far 
Is anyone else up for this ?  |

You are going to show the results off at fab camp aren't you?
If the forum demands I am happy to volunteer for the onerous task of finding out
a) if it works
And
b) if performance is enhanced by the changes.  |

"Back in my pre baby days before a botched epidural I used to do 100 situps everyday to keep my stomach tonned. Now I live with constant back ache and can't do them anymore "
Have a look at the Perfect Sit Up Machine. It takes away the strain from your back and neck. |

I actually just ordered a slender tone belt this weekend to use whilst doing the house work.
Figured this might be thw next best thing as no space in my flat for that as I did look at that but I've nowhere to store it when not in use |

I might google it, feel unfit now the footy season is over! The gym is just too boring, I'd love to be able to get into it but I just hate it, prefer social fitness activities etc |

I'm very impressed you've started posting photos of your efforts
Though I think they're hardly needed  |

Got myself into a 30 Day Dumbbell challenge, but due to uni commitment, I couldn't keep up. :/ So I guess doing a 30 day abs challenge will do me some benefits, it'll help loss the gut as well. :D |

Day 5:
30 sit ups
12 crunches
12 leg raises
20 sec plank
As it's silly o'clock, and I can't sleep, I might as well get on it 
Who wants to hold my ankles as I do the sit-ups ? |

I've started the T25 just yesterday, and I didn't realize how out of shape I was. It kicked my butt. My son started it a couple weeks ago, and it's done wonders for him. I thought it wouldn't be so bad, can't believe how soft I got. Today hopefully it will be better |

"It'd probably take me 30 days to locate any abs I might have...
They're in there, somewhere "
Day 2 and I still haven't located them. I have a suspicion they may have absconded and am considering filing a report with the police.

Check out Scoobiesworkshop on YouTube for free impartial advice.
He makes the point that the only way to get abs is by diet..... Doing sit-ups etc won't do anything visible and will just strengthen the core (a good thing).....you need a low fat percentage to make abs visible as they are hidden by fat (in my case)
Get dieting peeps...as well as excersise |

Very true, you need a low body fat % age for abs to show through.
I know I'm never going to go that low or even want to (though I do consider myself to have a good diet).
The diet required to get that low is quite specific
I'm looking to strengthen my core and firm up a bit |

Don't do it, it's bullshit. I have a link explaining why you shouldn't do this - it's accentually a really bad idea and very bad for your body to enter into this challenge. Fab won't let me post the link but I can assure you this is not a good thing to do.
It will actually give you a curved lower spine, terrible lower back pain and potentially a larger pot belly than you have now as a result. Do some research before you enter into these stupid Facebook things.
You'll end up with tight psoas major which pushes all your organs forward, giving you the appearance of a pot belly, and you won't lose any weight. |

I've seen this as well and I agree you shouldn't exercise without making sure you're doing the moves correctly.
For me I do Pilates weekly so all I'm doing are my normal sit ups, leg raises and plank ~ I've replaced the crunches with pulsing.
Just to add though the link I saw on FB by this 'expert' had a link to their fitness plan which made me think hmmmm! |

No-one posts anything like this to FB without a promotion somewhere ...
BUT as part of an integrated fitness plan it's fine to do, sets progressive targets and achievements |

"I did five crunches today. Now that might not sound alot, but there is only so many times you can hit snooze before you're late for work. Xx
"
2 crunchies is my limit although I am quite partial to a twix or mars bar unfortunately bits of coconut get stuck in my teeth with bounty bars
The all time favourite has got to be a Cadbury flake

Unless your diet is clean you won't see results, until your bf% is 16 or less, anyone will be ripped then. To work out my core I do v and l sit weighted pull ups, planches, weighted pistol squats. I'd love to do normal squats and dead lifts but have problems with loading weights on my spine ..so nah.
Good luck on your challenge |

I'm thinking of doing some sit ups and leg raises and step, over and above the 4 hours exercise a week I do. I'd like to reclaim my flat belly. I've not had it for years! |
