FC11 still going: 3 past winners of the FC are fighting it out with incredible fitness numbers, as Mike Bilan, Ingrid Spanjaard and Jeremy Hilsabeck each complete 750 situps, 100 pushups, and 3 cardio sessions of 45 minutes -- may the most sane one of them drop out and leave the victory to the madperson of the lot!

FC10 Ends with 2 winners: Hylke de Vries and Ciska van Vliet represented Holland, and jointly won the 10th edition of the Fitness Challenge. They both dropped out together to win after collaborating for one last week of fitness madness, culminated by a day of 1000 situps and 100 pushups. Congratulations to both of them, and

Pushup and Situp Alternatives: Did you know that you are allowed to replace some of your situps by doing "the Plank" And that squats can replace half of your pushups? Check out the Rules page for some videos of myself and Mr. Tom showing some alternatives to situps and pushups.

Check out this non-FC participant's excellent pushup form. Thanks Madelon for sending us a picture of Thom in action!

FC 10 and FC 11 started on February 23, and combined, they feature 121 participants -- excellent numbers! Those people will be doing their daily exercises until slowly, we are left with a winner for each of the challenges. Could take months, could take years. The people who have won in the past tell me that they save their day off until Sunday every week -- if you want to win, and most of them do their fitness right when they wake up. Hmmm, I'll tell you one thing: I am not going to save my day off for Sunday, and I am certainly not going to last for years -- it's nice to dream though! Good luck everyone!
