    Exercise of the Day:  Plank Twist 1


    This is actually a core strength exercise, but when I was doing it I know I had to shall it with you.  Begin in a push up position, with your hands and feet on the floor and a straight back and straight pair of legs.  Lift right foot to the ceiling keeping leg straight for a count of 3.  Then bend it and bring right knee under you, pointing to your right elbow for a count of three.  Then point it to your left elbow for a count of 3.  Then your right elbow again for a count of 3 and finally back up and out for a count of 3.  Return foot to the floor to the starting position.  Repeat with left knee.  Then repeat again twice more.  You might be suprised at how well you do.  I was.


    It's hard getting back into my old rhythym, but trying to do so.  The program says I have a physical challenge in two more days...
