Today was Walk Strong 1. I used five and six pounds. I watched a video called "Six Exercises I hate, and what to do instead." She is another instructor who doesn't recommend crunches. She suggested doing a suitcase carry. If you want to target one side, then carry the weight with one hand. So I subbed that in for the crunches. I could really feel it in my abs, my back isn't sore, and I was able to use my 15 pound kettlebell. Triple win! I think I've finally found substitutions that I like. Here's the link to the video. https://youtu.be/lGKColArCQE
She basically said that most people don't do crunches correctly, so she recommends other moves. That seemed to be the theme of the video, that few people do these moves correctly and they injure themselves. Justina Ercole said crunches will give you ab definition, but don't improve functional strength that you get from weights. I'm off to my volunteer filing. I hope everyone has a good Thursday!

Hi Everyone,
Late check in today - one of those days! So....yesterday I ended up being able to go for a dog walk so that was good and then I got the bug to do CS so I did CS 1217. Today, so far, has been: Angie Fitness TV - Holiday Power Walk - this was different than the one I did the other day - she uses a step bench in this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJv5UYRZuGM Jessica Valent - Hip Pain Routine - I threw the elastic band on for this one and it intensified it nicely! Yoga w/ Bird - 30 Day Challenge Day #1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KUa...jmwNjEIgSCz8as Sherry - that is interesting research! As I have grown older, I realize that I can't do everything and that is ok - I just try to find substitutes that work for me. No sense causing pain! Hope everyone has a good day! Donna |
