In seriousness, hope there are only good things to come for you and your husband Babs, nice little session with the little kettlebell!

What's a crunch, is that a biscuit?


Thanks Hazzard; going to be continuing the KB work throughout the day, so there will be more volume, may get some other exercises in there as well. Hubby is going to relax on the PS3, though I'm restricting his games to the less stressful ones, at the moment; thankfully, he understands why, after he had a bad day last week with NFS: The Run which was too demanding.

Sounds like a challenge to yourself. Set a rep goal for the whole day and smash it!

And I told you the planks were going to be easy for you...

'Tis true, you did


I'm just adding to the workout as the day goes on, an easy, painless way to get the volume in. I'll update that post throughout the day.

Thanks Steve Had a great night's sleep, hoping for a third day in a row and will be bringing the bedtime forward by another 30 minutes...it's trying to work out when the meds cease irritating the system to allow hubby to lie still, any time prior to that is pointless for even attempting to sleep.

I just feel for him. I wish there was something they could give him to zonk him out for a couple days.

Good to hear the sleep patterns are improving.
