Yup- the title says it all!
Over the last week, I have been consistently doing my ten minutes (or so) exercises. I can feel the difference from then, repetitions have gone up, control during the movements have improved.
But I can tell you that overcoming the inertia to even THINK about beginning was the toughest part of all. That, and also the first set of exercises on the first day! Man! I can remember it clearly, the abdominal crunches felt like I had a CRT monitor welded to my stomach! I could hardly move that big blob of belly jelly then.
Since then, things have become much better. Crunches are done, twenty at a time, and with control and less laboured breathing at the end of the sets. The muscles are firming up, responding the the ten minute challenge that I am throwing at them. Two things though- one is to continue to push them, the other is to drum up new drills to keep the challenge high.
My other focus is on the shoulders, triceps and chest. Doing pushups helps, but the wobbly jelly arms are a laugh when I recall last week's first (and feeble) attempt. I could manage only two. What with that block of belly jelly and those spindly popeye (pre-spinach) arms.
The trick is of course consistency. DOING it is slowly, even if it is only 5 reps at a time, is BETTER than NOT doing it at all! So get off your lazy bones, or belly and get that ten minute workout in the morning!
Imagine, for a ten minute investment every morning, in a week's time, you can feel the difference! That's not too bad an investment, is it?
