Author: ok, so the thing is ive never really worked out, ever. I have great arms and really strong legs but these are all from just working hard. Im having a hard time doing situps, but i know i have 3 months to improve. How long do you think it will take me to get my abs into shape, and what are some good exersizes?

Flutter kicks are helpful, as the guy above said. Crunches help build up to sit ups as well, reverse crunches and leg lifts as well.
I’ve been using this plan http://www.twohundredsitups.com/week1.html to help me build up. I used to be able to do about 20 sit ups without stopping — after a week, I’m up to 50! It’s a 6 week program designed to get to you 200 sit ups. Even if you have to repeat a week or two, you should be good to go in plenty of time for boot camp.
They have another programs for push ups as well, which is also pretty good. http://hundredpushups.com/
flutter kicks in all forms and just plain old sit ups in sets
Get an exercise ball and do sit ups on it.
Sit ups.Start off with 20 a day then every week add 5-10 more to it. Assuming things haven’t changed much. I wouldn’t worry too much. You’ll get plenty of exorcise while there.
I had a similar problem! There are several things you can do besides for just sit ups of coarse. Exercise balls are a great idea you can use it to do sit ups and crunches on but one of the best excercise you can do on them is knee tucks: go in a push up position with your feet elevated on the ball and pull your knees into your chest. The ball is also great for doing push ups, if you put your feet up on the ball when you do push ups it works pretty much every muscle from the waist up. Do sit ups for 2 minutes (that’s how long your have on the PT test) and track your progress.
try killer’s crunch workout. just google it. it is a way to gain ground fast.
