OK. Life is going well, I’m exercising daily.

I pop in a new Wii game called “EA Active, More Exercises.” Yeah. Talk about a lame title, eh?

But, the new workout is anything but lame.

Towards the end, I was supposed to do 20 “crunches.”

No problem. My weight is down. I’ve been exercising daily for months. I plopped to the floor, laid down and prepared for the inevitable.

As the kind lady on TV yelled, “One!” my head lifted from the floor.

Let me repeat: my head. Just my head.

Not my shoulders. Not my back either.

Just the head.

If I recall correctly, isn’t the body, from the waist up, supposed to raise during a crunch?

Dang. My only conclusion is that I’m still horrifically out of shape.

So… I’m still attempting to “crunch,” without much success after two days.

I’ll keep at it. But, if you’ve got any tips on how to get those abdominal muscles to work better, I’m all ears.

‘Til next time,
