Jen's exercise for Thursday 11/11/10 Walked Outside today

- 41 minutesIt was a beautiful day here in Michigan and since soon we won't have any for a LONG time, I decided to take advantage of the weather. Steps 5,196 Miles 1.64 Pace per mile 25:00/miCLX Day 7ChaLean Extreme CLX - Recharge = 20:53 minutesChaLean Extreme CLX - Ab Extreme = 16:25 minutesI enjoyed Recharge very much. I had problems with holding the downward dog. Next time I will try Chalene's tip of putting my weight more into my heels.I have a lot of trouble doing the side plank. I'm too heavy and it's hard to

hold myself up....do any of you know any effective modifications that would give me the same result?My abs are very weak. I'm considering doing ab exercises every other day, do you this that will help? Or should I do them 6 days a week? I was going to do Ab Ripper 100 if I'm not doing a CLX. What do you think? How often should I work my abs to increase their strength?Today marks the end of week 1 of the Burn phase. I'm going to start week 2 tomorrow. I will be taking Saturday off because I'm going to a workshop about Deaf culture, after that I will be going out to eat with the presenter and ASL instructors (ALL Deaf.) Then I will be going to a local Deaf club (closer to my home) to play Dingo, so that's a BUSY FULL

DAY! Jen

I think I read that you can work it 6 days but abs do need a break.Side plank - I all ready dropped my knee to the floor but I still weigh too much to do them. JenSubject: Re: Jen's exercise for Thursday 11/11/10To: exercisevideos Date: Friday, November 12, 2010, 7:49 AM

My take on abs is that they are like any other muscle.  The reason that they say you can work them every day is because you are not lifting " heavy " when working abs..  So, with that said, you could also work your arms every day too, if you stayed very light, and your reps low.  Make sense?  When lifting heavy, that's when it's important to get your rest....

my un-expert opinion is that your abs also do work every day - to balance you, keep you upright, etc. so unless you're doing some crazy ab work (or they are really sore) probably fine to do ab work every day. I also have been trying to do push-ups every day - not a ton of them -

Take care!Donna
