Stealth workouts?

Definitely time to trim those nails, Hugh...

Confession du jour: I've been feeling like a fraud when it comes to doing the sit ups. I read you're supposed to achieve a 35 degree angle, but since I'm not a math person I have no idea if I meet this criterion or not. Probably not. I barely lift my shoulder blades off the floor.

Still, these past weeks as the sit up challenges got longer and longer, I really began to feel the stomach muscles working. Deep muscles that don't usually have to work very much. I can't do these sit ups after dinner. Also, I'm finding that I need to stretch my arms after I finish the push ups. The muscles are all tensed up. So something's going on inside, even if I don't see any ripped muscles on the outside.

Exercise du jour:

Done! Well... sorta. I mean, I did work out today, but I didn't do the sit ups and push ups. I was so mad at my foot for letting me down yesterday that I decided to show it who's boss. Went for a nine-mile bike ride today. I'm ashamed to admit it, but my legs are actually a bit sore. That's embarrassing. Two years ago I was able to do a 36 mile bike ride without having cycled for months beforehand. Sigh. Tomorrow, the challenges.
Done! (On Saturday. With longer pauses between the sets.)
