le way up. These take only ten minutes or less, done at a
convenient point in the middle of the yoga routine.
When I first did crunches, it was only the basic straight ones. When I added
five or six other variants, such as twisting the upper body while lifting it,
first toward one side, then toward the other, I could hardly believe how rapidly
I felt better. Much more flexible, much stronger abs.
Thanks to yoga (for some months now) and crunches (for only a few weeks) I feel
better all day every day. I can stand or walk for long periods with no lower
back soreness, and do strenous yard work, or nasty maintenance chores, without
feeling like I've been beat up afterwards (my hands still feel beat up).
The benefits for the time and effort involved are terrific, and I'm speaking as
one who was desk-bound for thirty years, and would never stay with (or even not
hate or be totally bored with) any previous exercise routine.
