Method of Loci

 I am slowly building up a circuit thing in my house. I have started doing mini pull up mechanism practises in the backyard. The picnic table's seating provides for a good incline pushup. There is an ab-roller in the room and in between these, lie dumbbells for the many ways to build upperbody strength, extend this a bit, then theres more in the park. Now I have enough moves that I can practise at the park. I went on a scooty today. The other day when I played badminton with a kid, I dreamt that I was going down a slide.

The moves in the park now include yoga, Bruce Lee's elbow twists, bridge, hollow body hold, plank, lunges.

Pull up time

 Day 1 -Yesterday I found a tree and did a passive hang there. Actually I was there for 1 sec.

Day 2- Today, while going that way during a walk, I was able to hang on for 3 sec. I did this baout 2 to 3 times.

Progress.

I have also started doing the towel scaplar exercise from Lucy Lismore. She said that she learnt to do a pull up by having a bar on the doorway and trying it every time she went by it. I have the bars and trees startegically located. Theres one slight one in the backyard. The one in the park is too low as its for kids. Tried to do an eccentric pull down, it felt like the ground came too fast. Theres the magical tree, wish the branch to hang on was longer. After that is another park, where the base of a landing stairs can be used to do some more exercise. While hanging on, trying to pull my legs up. I think with regular practise, I should be able to do apull up. Its something that I have been wanting to do for  a long time. Wow, all the benefits from the hangs. After that is anothe rpark which has a circular monkey bar. It was funny trying to scale it. I tried to channel the kid in me with the carefulness of an adult.

Exercises from a Genius

 Tomorrow will be a week of Diastasis Recti exercises. I think I am now ready for Athleans Flat stomach. Do checkout the visualisations. Simple exercises. Small time slots. Lets see how it goes.

Do you feel bad when you miss wearing your tracker?

Wow hollow hold Day 2 .. too cool

Cant wait for the results.

Mobius

Hav eyou heard of this Mobius exercise?

Diastasis Recti

Suddenly I got very aware of the need for correcting Diastasis Recti. So on this 21 day challenge.

BodyFit by Amy has good exercises.

Day 2- 

I did 3 sets of Advanced Postpartum Core Workout - ABS After Pregnancy . 

and a few of these Ab Workout After Baby - Postpartum Ab Exercises - Diastasis Recti Safe Workout.

I was getting ready to do some strenght training, but boy, all that sucking the abs in.. didnt let me go further. That means the exercises ar working right. From the comments, the exercises are working out for people who have had mummy pouches for years.

Day 3

I have learnt that like how we keep dessert for the last, we should keep the exercise we love to do at the end, so that we get to the necessary exercise first. The Advanced Core workout is good. In todays jumprope exercise, I tried to incorporate a bit of the mobius exercise concept of staying int he weak position of side push ups. I also did jumprope backwards. Jumping jack forward.
