XD they aren't painful. Its nice and it works your core!

well, I actually do do crunches and want to bring my rifle to campus. but what woody said involving a wall? that sounds harder.

Its nice! It helps target different areas. So, try it first regular, do 20. Then cross your left leg over your right and do 20. Switch legs and have your right over your left and do 20. REPEAT! lol

then to step it up, just plant your feet on the wall and keep a nice clean 90 degree angle and do 20. then cross your legs again while still keeping one foot flat on the wall, etc. Its nice. You can really feel it in your tummy the next day after doing a couple sets.

I need to do this again, but I also need to find a spare bit of wall, my room is too crammed with big furniture.

how about 10 instead of 20? >.<

actually, I don't think I have wall space either. there are the cabinet/closet things.

Haha, 10 will do too, so long as things are done in sets (or whatever fancy word trainers use) and then you increase the number till you can do more!

My brother is a power house... he started doing push ups for fun and now he can do almost 150 a night >__<

I do....five pushups. I could do more if I want, probably. but I no interest in hurting myself.

I dunno how many push ups i can do >.< I can do a lot of the girly ones!

I used to be able to pretty easily do like 25+ push-up (in my peak colorguard days)
Now, I'm not sure I could do 10

yeah, we had to do tons of pushups freshman year, remember? every time someone dropped, we did a bunch. once we got to 120 at once, I think. it was horror.

at least I don't have to do girly ones. I can still do a fairly decent pushup.

Oh I do remember that and I remember hating Mr B. for it

I refuse to do the girly ones.

Heh. I did the girly ones during rugby practice, mostly cause we had to do pushups during suicides, and there was NO way I was gonna exert myself more than I had to in the middle of those O.o

Mr. B killed us that year, I swear. freshman year was not cool!

good reasoning, woody.

But it made us better in the long run so worth it.
Then, I also had the stronger arms just because I was a weapons girl.

Yeah very good reasoning Woody.

some of it. but in a way, I feel like a learned nothing that year. we focused on very different things then and we didn't compete. i remember not learning rifle at all then, but I had no problem the next year.

I learned rifle cuz I hung out with A-team a lot and Mr. B put me on the weapons line even then.

I don't think he taught it very well.

I didn't have too many issues with it... but that may have been me.

you're a weapon natural really. plus Mr. B's teaching reminded me of my dad trying to teach me piano, which was not a good experience.

Yeah, I really was. Which was good b/c flag was my worst enemy.

Which was what?

I like flag and rifle equally, inside. flag's no fun for marching season.

what?

I didn't like anything outdoors so yes.

Just the teaching style I guess?

yeah, the teaching style. its something I do not like.

ah makes sense.

yeah. we all have our own good ways of learning.

Yeah we really do.
