A Better Posture Through a Stronger Core

In my year+ of doing planks, not only do I have a toned torso but one thing I noticed is that my posture is much better and more erect.  That's remarkable given how much slouching I actually do when sitting.

This past winter was a cold, wet one where we were staying and I had to shovel snow, sometimes multiple times daily, on a regular basis.  In the past, all this work would have thrown my back out - I do suffer from sciatica.  However, my back was able to handle all the shovelling with just some muscle aches that disappeared quickly.

Winter holidays

It's been 3 months since I got off the cruise ship followed by some 4 weeks in SE Asia and Honolulu (might as well be in Asia diet-wise). Through somewhat regular exercise (mainly doing over 20 proper continuous pushups and trying to plank at least a minute daily) and moderate eating (I eat less per meal but have snacks), I've managed to maintain my physique and reduce weight to my precruise level, and not incur much damage over the holidays. Perseverance and moderation....

Still going...

Still alive and relatively healthy. I developed an ailment due to overuse of a limb so was out of the loop for a few weeks, and saw my weight slowly increase from 163 lbs to 170.  Starting to work it down again. I haven't figured out where to use my strap device in the new house so I am improvising. My routine is 2 sets of 12 pushups, holding for 5 seconds to work in a plank. 2 sets of 12 squats with overhead lift with a 20 lb dumbbell (only have one) 2 sets of single-armed rowing with the 20 lb weight 30 seconds of side planking when I get around to it Various core exercises. Overall pleased with the shape  am in for 56

Your Pants - An Everyday Weight Control Tool

Yes, the pants you wear every day can be used as a weight control tool, not so much to lose weight in my experience but more to prevent gain. I found over the years that fixed-waist pants, particularly jeans or those with broader bands, are the best.  I discovered that if I was eating too much, my waist and stomach would reach its expansion limits of the waistband and be compressed whenever I wore these pants (letting your stomach expand is a sure way to let yourself eat too much and thus gain weight). Another tip  Don't undo the waist button or release your belt when you sit down to eat (this was apparently once common practice by men). I bought and still buy pants infrequently and I always try to get a waist size that is just comfortable.  It'd be too tempting to keep on getting a larger/looser size. By contrast. elastic waist and other adjustable waist pants - let alone stretchy pants - are too dangerous to use.  You'll just release and gain weight. I gu...
