Today I had something different in mind but my yoga class was unfortunately not an option today. So I was thinking that today I will choose something I hate and try to change it. I was never ever friend with abs, even though when i used to dance a lot, i have pretty nice little squares. I was never fat or to have a big belly but doing something specifically for my abs was never in my plan.
SO, armed with my mattress and a piece of nice music I started to exercise. I realized how much I need it and how big idiot I was for avoiding it. I was blessed with a body in pretty nice shape, so i was never forced to go to the gym or to struggle running 5km every 2-3 days. I am not doing much to help my body and today i could feel the feedback of my abdominal flasque muscle quite hard. I do hope that one of the gains of this month will be to remember all these little insights and to put them in practice.
The result after 45 minutes is that every muscle around my abdomen is hurting, but at least my spirit is in a very high and happy place, thinking that I have done something good for some forgotten pieces of me. This part of the training i do aim to do it every other 2-3 days. With all the energy boost, i have decided to do a headstand. Well, I knew I was pretty far away from actually being able to do it, but my mood was that good that I counted still as working progress.

I'm the same ~ I rarely do exercise that targets the abs specifically, mainly because I end up hurting like hell afterward, so I focus on the other parts of the body mostly. But you're right, it's great to exercise. I keep saying that to everyone who tells me they'd like to lose weight. Because it's not just about losing weight, is it? ;) It's very good for you in so many ways.
Be really careful with that headstand though, I nearly twisted my neck trying to do a headstand a couple years ago on the beach :/

Yeap I end up in a very strange position once (I had some headstand trials before) and in one of them I twist so ugly that my muscles from the back of the head hurt for more than a week. Is amazing how difficult is to gain strength and how easy is to lose it. It took me ages to work my flexibility of my legs in yoga and I lost it in a second after not going to yoga for 3 months :) As always things that are important in life need constant care and work :)
