Exercise Lite - Day 5

A.M. - 20 crunches

P.M.

25 jumping jacks
10 minutes on the elliptical -- used this fantastic interval timer function in my phone...so I was able to shift from warm-up, moderate, full-tilt, to cool down..I don't trust the display on my elliptical anymore.

So after some research and taking into consideration the limits of my patience and uh, determination, I think instead of push-ups, I'll do the Plank Pose. It's a yoga (or yoga-inspired pose) which is like the push-up position. Instead of moving up and down, I'm going to hold the plank pose for a minute. It's supposed to tone the whole body.

So I did the plank pose...couldn't hold it for the full minute. By the 20-second mark, my shoulders and back and backs of my thighs (what's that muscle group called?) were trembling. *shrug*

So I think I'll add the plank pose to my morning and evening routine.
