This entire week I have been doing my crunches, obeying my own rules, but it has been a struggle.
I feel ridiculous. I am sorry, but crunches are ridiculous. They make no sense to me. Someone told me not too long ago that they thought cross body mountain climbers look dumb-- no, no, my friend, crunches look dumb. They're like some sort of awkward, broken see-saw. I just.... *sigh*.... I just feel ridiculous doing them. Further increasing my levels of embarrassment, I have started using those lame crunch machines at the gym. I figured, why not? I'm already making a fool of myself.
More important than my feelings of ridiculousness and embarrassment, however, is that I have found crunches have no lasting effect on my abs. They burn while I'm doing them, but as soon as I've finished my set the burn ceases. Furthermore, my abs have not been sore at all. Not one iota. Which is odd, because usually when you do a brand new exercise or one you haven't done in years (such is the case for myself and crunches), then that exercise will make you extremely sore. Yet another testament to the ineffectiveness of crunches.
Yet my saga continues. I will stay vigilant!
Follow my journey on this little meat site for the next two weeks and there will be an electronic prize for you at the end!
