You don't want to be doing 50. Try 25 and then a 40 second break... Then another 25 and another break... It's a set, right?
Then do about 5 sets, morning and night, building up and pushing yourself a little. Much more efficient at toning the muscles.

Posture is also a good point, use the correct posture when doing any exercise and it will automatically make the exercise you are doing more concentrated and effective. Shoulders back tummy button drawn in natural curve in the back and chin slightly back....putting the spine in a nice neutral position. This will also make you look taller and pull in your tummy giving the illusion of a more defined tummy....
I dare say someone will try and prove me wrong now but....Good Luck
well said like any Pilates instructor.

I'm using some of the techniques.

How about 100 sit up's a day for starters? 50 in the morning and 50 at night.
Don't be so vain.

There's far more constructive things you could do with your time.

These sit up's are pretty tough, anyone who thinks 50 would not hurt should try it, I thought it would be a piece of piss but no sir.

I have now done 50 each morning and evening as well as a 5K bike ride every other day and am going to throw in some weights next week for good measure.

I would go for a run but I am afraid I might not make it home and die of a heart attack somewhere.

A regime called '8 minutes in the morning for a flat belly ' (or something like that) by Jorge Cruse - you can get his books off eBay and they do work
but it's bloody hard work and I never got to the third level (which does involve those exercise balls) 'cos I couldn't keep my balance

Thanks for that, I will have a look at the library.

So far this week i have run 15k's and done 300 sit ups.

That is more than I have done in the last few years combined.

I am eating salads and not picking in the evening.

On Sunday evening when I weighed in I was 124.8 kilos, I am aiming for a good loss in this first week to keep me inspired.
