Exercising For Comments -- Update


Last weekend I did not do any crunches because of the intestinal thing I had.  But I resumed them on Monday.  I have still not done 50 on any one day; the most I've done was 40.  And one day last week -- I can't believe I didn't mark it down on my calendar!! -- Thomas looked at me and said, "You must be doing something right, because you're looking really good!"  And I do feel like my clothes are fitting more loosely.  Yeah me!

This month I'd like to try something different.  I think I'll alternate crunches with something else, but I don't know what.  I am going to Curves two or three times a week, and I am still walking almost every day.  I think I should ask for suggestions from the J-Land community, don't you?  What should I do?  Jumping Jacks?  (At my age and after two kids -- do you think I should?)  Push ups?  I have some dumbbells -- perhaps I should do something with them?  (Something exercise-related, I mean.  Using them as paperweights isn't an option here.)

How about a poll!  We all love polls!!  If you think I should do something not on the poll, then feel free to start a write-in campaign.

*Note:  I'm copying this post from an entry on Dusty Pages, and I will combine the votes from both journals.

    I voted for squats too because I think they work alot of major muscle groups...and the more muscle you build...the more calories you burn!  I do agree with the comment below though.  Women tend to neglect their upper body...so maybe the next thing you add should be something for the arms.

    But I vote squats first.  (lol)

    I am not sure which exercises you are already doing. Squats are good - lunges are good. Mostly, though, women tend to neglect their upper bodies - maybe bicep curls or lat pulldowns?
