New York Daily News - The Biggest Newser

No turning back for this Newser

Signing up for The Biggest Newser is a lot like those cross-country trips my friends and I would embark on when we were young. It sounds like a good idea at the time, but somewhere around Pittsburgh you realize this is going to be a lot harder than anticipated - and there's no turning back.

I've decided Fabulous Trainer Becky is indeed a spy sent by the Evil Post to pick off Daily News reporters and editors. Some assassins use sniper rifles; Becky uses abdominal crunches. Becky gave me an MP3 workout for my abs that turned me into whimpering pile of blubber in about 40 minutes. It's not attractive to see a middle-aged man in a fetal position gasping, "My tummy hurts" in the corner of my neighborhood rec center.

But it seems to be paying off because I'm on the last notch on my belt.

The jack ‘n' plank is one of Becky's signature moves. It's like doing a jumping jack while in the up position of a pushup, and it kicks my butt every time I do it.
