I Did 200 Crunches A Day For One Week

Here's what happened.

I don't know about you, but the idea of having abs or at least a toned stomach has been a desire I've had for quite a long time. I cannot tell you how many times I have scrolled through Pinterest looking at inspiration photos, transformation photos, and workout challenges without actually acting on anything.

The other day, I came across the 200 Crunches a Day for One Week Challenge on Youtube and found it super intriguing. It sounded simple enough, doing 200 ab crunches each day (preferably in one session) for one week straight.

Some of the women whose videos I watched achieved pretty dramatic results. I thought, "I can do that. That doesn't sound too bad."

So, I figured why not try it out?

I sit here now feeling disappointed. I don't see much of a difference in the definition of my stomach at all. I guess I shouldn't have expected a visible difference because it seemed too good to be true, but I thought just maybe it would work.

Well, as you can see there is little to no difference in my abdomen sadly. It works for some people so I'm glad that I at least gave it a shot and stuck to it. Now, I'm just going to continue doing ab exercises several nights a week and see if over time I see any progress.

Even though it wasn't the dramatic change I was hoping for, I am proud of myself for doing the 200 Crunches a Day for One Week Challenge and encourage anyone who is curious to try it out!

Progress takes time and lots of effort but anyone can achieve their fitness goals if they are dedicated enough. Believe in yourself and work hard, and sure enough, you will see improvement!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
