Walk, er, Do the Plank!
July 28, 2009
Alright folks. Time for some exercise! Start by getting on all fours. Now, lower yourself down onto your elbows. Next, straighten out one leg, then straighten out the other so that you are supporting the weight of your body on your elbows and the balls of your feet. Keep your head aligned with your upper body so that from your head to your feet, your body is as close to being straight as a plank as you can make it. Hold for several seconds. If you get tired very quickly, just lower your knees to the ground, rest a bit, then raise your knees again for a few more seconds.
This exercise is called a bent-elbow “plank” because your hold your body straight as a plank. It’s an exercise that causes your abs (rectus abdominus and obliques), front of thighs (quadriceps), side and rear shoulders (deltoids), and a couple of other muscles to contract and act as stabilizers. Do these along with the regular and reverse crunches described in previous blogs, and if you’re blessed with great genetics, you might wind up looking like those two truly impressive physical specimens — Mr. and Mrs. JJ Jalopy!

Hi Darryl,
I’ve just read Dr Mercola’s article on talking about Dr. Chestnut’s conclusion that exercise is just like an essential nutrient for our body to keep being healthy.

lol! Well we almost went walking today to the beach in conjunction with Labor Day weekend. however, instead, we did gym time. Right now I am just doing simple cardio and sweating. Using the Elliptical Trainer. I’m working on solidifying the healthy habit of regularly working out for fitness.
THEN I will add elements!
Take care,
