I'm sure I'm not the only one in the gym that notices the fruits of our labor! Let's see a show of hands - who admires muscles?
It's like men and cars. I see a muscle and think YEAH I want shoulders like that, etc.
But my balance stinks, so I don't do many walking lunges ( I think Ilene does them with a kickback, which is even harder for me), and totally forgot about them until this thread, so maybe I'll give them another shot and see if I do them better. We also just got a BOSU (actually I think we've had it but I just didn't see it) so maybe that will help with balance. I joke with people that it's because my boobs are big, but I just have lousy balance. And weak abs, because I hate ab work, soooo I can now, thanks to this thread, justfy that by doing my Pilates Core DVD that I'm avoiding, I can have a better butt. Darn!
