Dear journal,
I lie in pain from the three
‘simple’ exercises I was asked to do! Truth be told, I only did one and my
stomach hurts like hell!
Having read the Times of India
yesterday, I decided to adopt the tummy trimming exercises highlighted. Of
course in the beginning, they made it sound very easy and exciting, *eyes
rolling* I should have known better.
Here is the quote that made me
think I can have it easy ‘Don’t want to end up injured or exhausted? Don’t
overdo things on the workout front. Instead, aim for a brisk 20 minute walk
everyday to burn fat, plus do the following exercises to help tone your
abdominal muscles’
Well, that got me thinking it was
going to be very enjoyable especially since workout is such hard work. The
workouts suggested included bicycle crunch, the boat and the plank. I did the
bicycle crunch but before you roll your eyes at me, I have to say it was pretty
difficult!
Bicycle crunch: Lie down with your back pressed onto the floor.
Bring your hands behind your head. Starting with your legs bent at 45 degree
angle, bring the right knee into the chest while straightening out your left
leg. At the same time, rotate your top half so your left elbow goes to your
right knee, then switch to the other side. Repeat for one minute, three times a
day.
Try this one with me and see how you react to it. It might
sound simple and it is NOT but it is very effective. I look forward to your
comments and what you think of the bicycle crunch.
