<p>Going by this standard, <a href=“http://www.in.gov/ilea/fitness/fitsitups.html[/url]”>http://www.in.gov/ilea/fitness/fitsitups.html&lt;/a&gt;, how many can you do in a minute?</p>

<p>Who the hell goes by that? It is far too hot to try now, I can do a lot of sit ups, I don’t time myself though.</p>

3

<p>I do 30 and I’m fat so its really easy</p>

4

<p>lololol “touch elbows to knees”
they better not mean their sit-ups are like crunches…otherwise 29 in a minute is pretty bad.</p>

5

<p>we had to do them for gym a couple of months ago
I know I did something b/w 45-60 (that was one of the cutoffs) but I don’t know exactly how many
and we did situps, not crunches, our gym teacher made sure we did them right.</p>

6

<p>I don’t know about a minute since we usually do them in 2 minutes and I usually do around 100.</p>

7

<p>I had to do that in my Adv. Weight Training class and I did about 60 - 70 in a minute.</p>

8

<p>I did 58 for my gym class.</p>

9

<p>Did anyone actually try this just so they could post here?</p>

<p>Fess up!</p>

<p>Edit: Awesome, my 30th post so I’m a junior member :D</p>

10

<p>I remember doing 70 in 6th grade
that was either the highest or second highest in the school (for my grade)</p>

11

<p>i did 105 by that standard in one minute</p>

12

<p>hehehe…nerds bragging about how many situps they can do in a minute :)</p>

13

<p>Lol, who’s bragging? It might seem like bragging to you if you’re athletically ■■■■■■■■. </p>

<p>I didn’t do it by the standard though. Elbows to knees seems more like crunches.</p>

14

<p>

</p>

<p>128!</p>

<p>oh wait…that’s my video card memory, or is it the dosage of my acne cream</p>

<p>damn I can’t remember, good thing I wrote it down on my palm pilot</p>

15

<p>Sit-ups are so ineffective compared to many other ab exercises…</p>

16

<p>That test is really bad because it emphasizes pure numbers instead of good form. Good situps should be nice and slow, the opposite of what they’re making you do there.</p>

17

<p>Agreed^ </p>

<p>The slower you go, the better it is for you. It burns more, but that is how you know you’re doing it correctly.</p>

18

<p>I did 1,437 in one minute… is that good?</p>

<p>Seriously, though, I don’t ever do sit-ups… I only run and do push-ups. Sit-ups are for weenies =) (just kidding. Really, I don’t have the attention span required to actually do sit-ups… which is pretty sad).</p>

19

<p>Sit ups are good for running, as it makes your core muscles stronger.</p>

<p>^^^agreed…</p>
