The Single Best Ab Exercise You Can Do -- And It's Not A Crunch

Enjoy. 

Why does this work so well? As the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy states:

"The roll-out and pike were the most effective exercises in activating upper and lower rectus abdominis, external and internal obliques, and latissimus dorsi muscles, while minimizing lumbar paraspinals and rectus femoris activity."

Translation: The exercise forces your abdominals to work the hardest while your lower back and hip flexors -- areas that can take over in other traditional ab exercises -- are almost completely left out. So while a crunch works your abs but only with help from other areas, the roll-out pike isolates your abs much more effectively.

The Second Week of Lent

Wednesday

God of Love, 

through this Lenten journey,

purify my desires to serve you.

Free me from any temptations to judge others,

to place myself above others.

Please let me surrender even my impatience

with others,

that with your love and your grace,

I might be less and less absorbed with myself,

and more and more full of the desire

to follow you, in laying down my life

according to your example.

Say what?

Yes, I'm jumping on that bandwagon.

Sh*t Nobody Says.

There have been about 3 dozen spin offs of the original Sh*t Girls Say, and they are all hilarious. Ruthie shared this one today and I think I have watched it 7 times. Comedy at its finest.

I miss faxing. 

I completely understand my taxes. 

Mmm, Captain D's! 

Does anyone know how I can make papyrus my default font?

I'm thinking about ditching my iPhone so I can use Boost Mobile.
