Re: Best for abs?

The Kangaroo crunch kinda sounds like something I teach in S/R classes.. I call them ladder crunches. Its basically laying on a ball and reaching up (like climbing a ladder) alternating R and L hands.

I like that leg cross thing! I'm going to have to do that! Have a sweet name for those?

Re:

RUSSIAN TWISTS (obliques)!! Super fun! the Standing Man is fun too. I also like toe-touches (kinda like a reverse crunch), kangaroo crunches. Side bends can be a total party.

Re: Out of shape, returning aerobics instructor. Yeah...

True. I don't really care how much the scale says, as long as I LOOK and FEEL better. Back when i was 130, I was pretty in shape, and--when I worked out lots--noticed new muscles coming to the surface, haha. Though, I don't know BF%. I've done one online that measures various parts to come up with a...

Re: Out of shape, returning aerobics instructor. Yeah...

Great! As long as "plan" is decent, then hopefully I should be back on way to be past self, haha. I'm just always so leary, about when to have this and that, and how much. I don't want too little, but I don't want too much, ha. I keep stuff in car during the winter, but not fruit.. it'll f...

Re: Out of shape, returning aerobics instructor. Yeah...

Thank you for your quick reply! I might not get home till 4:30 on MW when I have to be at the gym at 5. Is this enough time to eat/make chicken breast, or oatmeal and digest enough in time so its not sloshing around during class? Ha, I can always eat something portable in lunch on car ride home (isn...
