NeverThatBored Posted April 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2016 With leg raises, you're supposed to keep them from touching the ground. They're a great exercise! I have them as part of my normal workout.

iatetheyeti Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Done with EC. I made the mistake of doing this in my living room. Even with a yoga mat between me and the laminate flooring, I can't say it was a particularly comfortable shoulder massage, but it did relieve some of the tension I've been carrying around. Had to concentrate to keep both feet flat on the floor though... 3 Quote "The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

RocketbikeNinja Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Knee tucks with EC and extra EC. I got to something like 33 when my 3 and 6 year old came into the room, wondering what all the noise was. I miscounted, and thought I was as 23, then went up to the new 40 (which was now 50.) Fortunately, I was filming to make sure my form remained throughout, and I saw the 50 on the recount. 2 Quote Current Big Fat Hairy Goals: Hip to Waist Ratio down to 88%.

Didn't think jumping could be so exhausting. Jumping is very exhausting! I always get worn out within a few minutes on trampolines / bounce houses. I did the jumps with EC, but honestly I don't think my knees went up far enough on most of the jumps because I was worried about stomping on the ceiling of the people in the apartment below me....and I was landing LOUD.

Whoops? Yeah, my downstairs neighbours probably suffered on this one. But my knees didn't go up far enough either, basically because I'm not that flexible/strong. Totally still counts, though I need my cats' skills. They do stomp around like crazy (especially at night), but if they want to (big if) they can land quiet as a feather from a 4 foot jump.

Jarric Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 So I got to 30 jumps, got shouted at by the Mrs for waking her up with all the noise and promptly gave up. Definitely could have done the last 10 for the EC, but never mind. My own fault for not doing them earlier in the day. Judo push ups tomorrow look fun, as long as my shoulder lets me do it. 2 Quote Level 21 Wood Elf Ranger STR: 18 - CON: 22 - CHA: 11 - SAN: 19 - INT: 17 IAgreeWithTank™ "Shit is going down, but I am not." - iatetheyeti Don't say "I don't have enough time", say instead "that's not a priority right now" and see how that makes you feel.
