In about 15 months, I will graduate college and join the Navy. To that end, I've been working out a lot, and seeing some really fantastic changes in strength, stamina, and appearance. I'm doing pushups, situps, karate, cross-country skiing, jogging, and timed mile/1.5 mile runs. I'm planning on starting with pull-ups as soon as I can be un-self-conscious enough to use the pull-up bar in the college rec center.
But despite all this, I've made approximately zero progress on situps. I'm doing as many situps as I can in two minutes, and then keeping at it until I reach a grand total of 105 for the exercise session. I'm doing this somewhere between once and three times a week depending on how busy I am. Here's how many I've been able to do in 2 min.

Now, admittedly this isn't the longest track record – I haven't been incorporating situps into my routine for all that long. But I really should be seeing some improvement by now! Is there any chance I'm missing something obvious?
