I'm on Stage 2 of The New Rules of Lifting for Women. One of the exercises is holding a plank for 60 seconds. Since that's a bit easy for me, I've been doing a harder version. I'll hold a plank with my toes on a bench and my forearms on a stability ball.
I did this on Saturday and a lady saw me. She came up to me all impressed and asked, "Other than having amazing balance, what does that exercise do for you?" So I told her it was a great exercise for the core and I showed her the normal plank that she can do on the floor.
Heh. That made me feel good about myself. I'm actually going to try the next harder version (lifting one leg up) the next time I do them.
In other news I've been tracking my calories since I would really like to get down to the one-teens by marathon day. I have been eating close to if not exceeding 3000 calories a day! Yikes! So I've been trying to keep it down to 2000 calories s day and I can see the scale starting to move. Hooray!
