    Exercise of the Day:  Directional Lunges with Weights
    It starts off like a lunge.  You step forward with your right foot and dip down so your forward knee bends to 90 degrees.  Then you step back and then lunge forward to the right 45 degrees and back.  Then to the side and then backwards.  Repeat all that 7 more times.  Rest and then do with the left foot.


    Today we bought some 5 lb hand weights.  I like them better than the cans of garbanzo beans but they really made we work up a sweat.  We also bought a large exercise ball.  However, none of the exercises I did today required it.


    Yesterday we watched The Last Samurai.  It was entertaining but you had to suspend your disbelief several times.  We also watched some episodes of H3x, a never-before-seen episode and the "season premiere."  Again you have to suspend your disbelief several times, but it's fun to look at.
