My 2013 Resolution

My resolution for the coming year is to get rid of some of my belly, and here's how I'm going to do it: One crunch at a time.

Or rather, six crunches at a time.

So be it resolved that, every day in 2013, I will do at least six crunches.Why six? Because, if I follow through as planned, that means I will have done more than 2,000 crunches by the end of the year. That should show my belly a thing or two!


Six doesn't seem like a lot, and it isn't. Even on days when I feel completely unmotivated to do anything, I can do six crunches. But then, on days when I'm feeling good and hopefully and energetic, I can (and certainly will) exceed that number. And I'll be keeping track day by day of how many I do.


I plan to make some other food and exercise changes as well, but I'm setting those down as resolutions. So hopefully, by this time next year, I'll be posting about how much weight I've lost and complaining that none of my pants fit.

Six crunches a day is really an easy resolution. The hard part isn't the exercise, but sticking to it every single day. Care to join me?
