7 Weeks to 300 Sit-Ups: Strengthen and Sculpt Your Abs, Back, Core and Obliques by Training to Do 300 Consecutive Sit-Ups

My experience with the exercises in the program has been very positive so far. I was in a push-up program, due to abs getting tired, so I picked-up this book and worked from the very beginning program. I highly recommend the prep-level, as it really helps build core strength with little effort. After about 3 weeks, I did not have any more problems with abs strength in my other push-up program. The variety of exercises was something I really appreciated, as I get bored quickly of just doing the same exercises over many sets. I don't know about doing 300 sit-ups at this point, but I would still recommend this book highly for building a strong core.

Nice progression of exercises, will/would probably work, doesn't do anything for my hatred of situps unfortunately...

Unless you're already very fit, you won't be doing 300 sit-ups in seven weeks. I am on week four of the beginners program and doing good so far. It's going to be more like twenty weeks for me, which is fine. Buyers should be aware that you'll need more than the book if you want to follow the suggested exercises - a stability ball, a medicine ball and a resistance band set. Maybe $60 or $70 for these, all together. Amazon has a lot of options for these items. The book is easy to follow, although at first, you'll be doing a lot of flipping through the book while exercising. The program mixes a series of exercises to build the core and the specific exercises change each session, so there's no way the exercises can go in order in the book. It's not just sit-ups that you'll be doing, so it's not boring. It takes me about 30 to 35 minutes to do each session, including rest periods, warm-up and stretching and there are three sessions per week. It's a good, solid work-out. One note that the first copy I bought fell apart on me after the second session. The pages came apart from the binding and this prompts the four-star review. I returned the defective book and Amazon promptly replaced it with a new copy that is holding up better so far, although I'm treating it more gingerly. Steve Speirs has written several "Seven Weeks" book. I am doing 7 Weeks to 50 Pull-Ups: Strengthen and Sculpt Your Arms, Shoulders, Back, and Abs by Training to Do 50 Consecutive Pull-Ups and 7 Weeks to 100 Push-Ups: Strengthen and Sculpt Your Arms, Abs, Chest, Back and Glutes by Training to do 100 Consecutive Push-Ups at the same time. The exercise programs in these two books are simpler than the sit-ups program,and it's easy to do all three at the same time.

This book has to s of info. I have been studying health and fitness for a couple of years and I still learned new things in this book.im working my way through the program now and enjoying it.

If you need a work out routine this is a great start!

I think this is a great book about how to strengthen your midsection. It deals with regular sit ups and not crunches which is right up my alley. Anyone interested in improving their core strength should get this book.

Helpful to develop muscle

I'm really enjoying using and following the programs in this book. However, I have two suggestions for the author. First, there is a big jump from the preparatory programs to the next level in the number of exercises and repetitions. I think the preparatory program should be lengthened and the number of exercises and reps increased to help exercisers make a smoother transition to the next level. I ended up doing the preparatory program twice before I successfully transitioned to the next level. Second, I suggest the author talk to the publisher to beef up the binding. The binding in my book is falling apart and I have been taping it together. Overall, I like this book a lot. I do the program faithfully thrice a week and it is really helpful in my opinion.

If you want a strong midsection this is the book for never boring.

Great book. I can finally do it

my 2nd book, lost first one :D

i loved this book its good for begginers and is easy to follow. even though i keep having to restart the program because of my own lazyness lol

This is a decent read, with a good goal in mind - to dramatically improve all of your core strength and endurance. It has nothibg to do with doing 300 situps, which is bit confusing. A bit too much waffle and it does take a while to work out what you're supposed to be doing. A bit of a pain on kindle flipping backwards and forwards - I'd recommend hard copy. Follow the routines and you will tone up your core for aesthetics or sports
