 100 sit ups or leg raises. Perform the following exercises 3 times per week on nonconsecutive days. (ie: Monday, Wed, Friday) Sets & Reps: Weeks 1 and 2: 3 sets of 8 reps for each exercise before moving to the next exercise.
 Weeks 3 and 4: Increase the weights and do 4 sets of 6.
 Week 5: Drop the poundage a bit and do 3 sets of 10. Do not approach failure on any rep during this week.
 Weeks 6-10: Increase the weights and do 5 sets of 5 for each exercise.
 Week 11: Drop the poundage and do 3 sets of 10. Do not approach failure on any rep during this week.
