I'm not sore...and I'm kind of sad about it.

I tweeted earlier about an intense core workout and had a request to post about it!  Let me just tell you this:  it was big time!  However, I am barely sore today!  Some of you might think that's GREAT news...but I was actually looking forward to an uncomfortable reminder of my workout with every sneeze & giggle  :)  Contrary to popular belief, the absence of soreness DOES NOT mean that you didn't work out hard enough.  The better shape your muscles are in, the less soreness you will experience.  So, if it's been a while since you hit the gym...count on a bit of soreness!  And even if you are in stellar shape, you are likely experience soreness when you work your muscles in a new way!

To Rani, you mentioned that you wanted some new ideas for working your abs.  I did a few exercises that focused on my abs, but the rest were moves involving all of the core muscles.  Did you guys know that the "core" actually includes much more than just your abs?  Be on the lookout for more info on that in the next few days!  I'll post tomorrow about some alternatives to the same old crunch/sit up routine!

Wishing you Good Health & Happiness!!
