morning practice

[samiraalthores]

This morning I heard the first song from the cardinal. During my morning practice, there was a red headed woodpecker on the tulip tree. The starlings, grackles and chickadees had a noisy turf war over the old bread I put out for them on the back lawn. I feel calm.

The weekend went very well. I did some planning for my garden.  I am NOT growing

I have some exercises that I regret not doing if they're not a daily habit. Some for appearance, some to balance out the time I spend on my bike. I do ab works both because I think I look better and because I really like the feeling of muscle development in my abs. I sit better!

I can't remember where I read it, but I recall bicycle crunches being the best single ab exercise you can do. Regular sit ups or ab crunches aren't as effective for the same amount of time or effort. I switched to bicycle crunches from regular ab crunches after reading it. It seemed to hold true for me.

Congrats on meeting your exercise goal!

Even after only 4 days of abs, I can feel the difference in my walk and posture. I'm up to 2x25 and prolly will go 3x20 this week. I added some bridge poses and a few sun salutations to the mix.

What is a bicycle crunch?

Here is a link with a fairly good description and good video of bicycle crunches.

Sorry about the ads. :-(

Eek. I was at an ACS event tonight. What about Wed/Thur? I leave friday 6 am for DFW until late sunday night?

I went to the work gym today (tues) and did a 30 minute casual bike as well as my "normal" ab routine.

We didn't go last night how lazy I got off work at 8 Dave was watching a movie and it was really easy to blow it off.

Thursday is our anniversary and Ansel is getting inducted into Phi Theta Kappa so tonight has to be it. We will be in the water at about 8.
