I
was knee- deep in other activities tonight and didn’t have time for the
treadmill. (Darn it!) However, there were twenty Trunk Rotations, then one
hundred Quarter Crunches. I almost forgot but completed fifty Twisting Crunches
(milestone!), then from the Halasana
yoga pose into twenty modified Jack
Knife exercises. There was some mild
experimentation with a pair of 3lb hand-weights but it was pretty useless and I
won’t bore you with details. Finally,
there were six consecutive GI Jane
push-ups without bars. Shocking,
I know. The bars make even push-ups more
difficult; but, I didn’t use them simply because there were in a different part
of the house. I’ll keep using them
because that’s the benchmark, but it felt good to do six in a row. Some people want to get fit to get skinny,
but I want to get fit to get strong. No
retreat, no surrender and no excuses!
