Do you have a sedentary job and no time in your life to exercise? Worried about getting, or staying, as is my case, out of shape? Here is one woman’s search for ways to Fit Fitness into her life. & My Inadvertent Exercise Plan: How I am now in much better shape now, by walking our dog and squeezing in Total Gym workouts!
Any Users of Total Gyms! I have a Kneeling Plank Press Question:
I just started doing these again
and noticed
The muscles on the outer sides of my knees and up a bit, (like 4 inches up)
Seem to be getting the brunt of this workout.
Possibly more like 4 total gym workouts, as I did the 1st measurement on 1/20/14 and the 2nd on 1/29/14, having done only 4 total gym ab crunch workouts in between!
I was only doing the workout you can see Christie Brinkely do with Total Gym’s Ab Crunch attachment at the end of this video, except I have it set at the top level.
I have been doing 3 sets of 10 each during each workout and have only gotten in 4 workouts between the above-mentioned dates!
Measurements for Comparison
Granted I am not doing any leg exercises, and a few arm exercises, with a resistance band thing, and the Total Gym ab crunch attachment exercises above…
Back in November, having seemingly, but not quite totally, recovered from the heart surgery I had in late July of 2013, I learned that I had a blood vessel compromised.
This is in the area which I was told was perhaps nerve damage, among other possibilities in the months prior to being told it is actually a compromised blood vessel…
Just recently I went about, and am still in the process of finding out the way to fix this.
I am essentially one more CAT scan and a meeting with a vascular surgeon away, (or two weeks in this case), from finding out how to handle this.
In the meantime, I am OK, but fitness is not a big priority.
Still I am enjoying working out lately!
I am especially enjoying feeling of being firmer and stronger in my core, abs and right upper chest where this compromised blood vessel apparently is.
Hope to be off to a better year soon, and actually believe I already am!
