So I haven't been able to do my ab workout for almost 2 days now - because they flipping HURT after the first time! Which is good but not good if it stops you doing them again. I know it's build-up of lactic acid and I should have cooled them down and all that... but with every muscle, I know how to cool them down. How the hell do you cool down your abs? Normally it's light stretching, but how do you stretch our abs? I might just sit in the cobra stretch for a while. But then there's the obliques. Doh.If anyone has any tips, I'd love to hear 'em. Must get on Google.
Amber - yes, Twilight Princess, that's what it's called! You HAVE to get it if you love Zelda. I was completely addicted. It's one of those games where I really cared about what was going to happen next, like a really, really good film. If you get it... man, I'll be so jealous. If ever I'm rich and living on my own, I'm getting a Wii and that game, even if by that time it's an old, long-gone thing!
Nice name change, btw. Was a little confused when I signed back on post-holiday but I'm with ya now. ;)
Yesterday was a pretty rubbish day - I ate loads and forgot about exercise. BAH. I mean, for lunch I had TWO bagels. TWO. Who the hell eats two? Me, apparently. But today will be better! It's getting close to lunchtime so I'm planning to have a coffee to halt my appetite for a while, then snack on some crackers if hunger comes back. Then I'll try and eat as little of dinner as I can get away with. I'll just say I'm stuffed. C'mon, SDR2. You will be successful.
My life is pretty boring these days. Which is why I have nothing to talk about. Hooray, blog!
Q x
Cobra will help. Try cat stretch up and down and side to side. If not a good old side bend or lying spine twist will help your obliques. If you're really sore a bath with epsom salts helps. Take care! xxx

ReplyDeletethat stretch is probably my number one for obliques (ball not required). Good luck and remember to drink lots of water, it definitely helps me with muscle soreness.
I love it when I get sore abs because it makes me feel like I've actually accomplished something. The cobra stretch is really the only thing I know to stretch abs. Also, I like doing the bridge to stretch out my stomach (http://thegymcoach.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/bridge.jpg)
ReplyDeleteI get to get a Wii this Friday! Normally I can never afford video games systems and when I can finally buy them, they've already come out with something new. By the time I could get a PS2 from a friend, the PS3 was already "old." :/ Oh, and you asked, "Who the hell eats two bagels"- well, I did...last Friday *grins*...so you're definitely not alone! I love bread and sweets, so with bagels, you get two guilty pleasures in one! I hope your week is going well for you! ♥
ah, it's all right, don't worry about the bagels! :D oreos are my thing, not so much the taste but definitely the texture. I love the sore feeling after a really hard workout; it's so rewarding! keep it up! :D RaeLynn
