I did it!  3100 crunches in 31 days!  And the results are in:  I lost 1 inch from my waist!

If you find it, let me know.  Har har har.  But isn’t that cool?  For those of you who’ve been wondering (myself included) if that little bit of exercise you’re doing is making a difference: IT IS.

You know those Ab machine infomercials that show flabby tummies turning into six packs in 90 days, just 3 minutes a day?  I’m beginning to suspect that ANY ab exercises for 3 minutes a day for three months will make a huge difference.  It takes me about 3 minutes to do 100 crunches; that includes a few little breathers to let my ab muscles un-clench and the pain to subside.

Three minutes!  That’s all it takes.  I do them best while I watch TV.  So, if you’re watching CSI, you do crunches until they find the body.  Walking Dead?  Crunch until a body finds them.    Big Bang Theory?  Crunch while Sheldon explains something, anything, to Penny.   American Idol fan and want a real challenge?  Crunch from when they say “Up next we announce the results of last week’s voting” and keep going until they actually tell you the results.   I bet you could beat my 3100 in one show.

The point is, any little bit of exercise you do matters.  Motivating, isn’t it?

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”  Galatians 6:9
