ill-advised idea of the day

[moominmolly]

(Hm, 100 days, 100 bad ideas? Wait, no, that's a bad idea. Hey, I've already started!)

I suppose that technically it was YESTERDAY when I was showing a good friend how to lift weights, and in the course of this, did a full set of weighted crunches for the first time in quite a while. Okay, that's fine. The bad idea was showing an obliques exercise, but only on my right side. Now, whenever I cough (which is charmingly often), I feel lopsided. Grr!

Now that you mention it, that's a GREAT idea! :)

My downfall was thinking that just doing a couple of reps wouldn't really count as WORKING it. But with my weak-ass abs, it sure did!

hee :)

doesn't matter. bodies are funny in their craving of synchronization. my right shoulder says so with the pain it gives me to match my broken left one!

That is not good! Bodies are so weird.

Last night I dreamed I was showing someone my weightlifting exercizes and only showed them the left side and then I tried to do them and had no strength left on the left and couldn't lift at all with that arm. *weird synchronicity*

Hey! You took my balance! Gimme that back!

I suppose, upon reflection, I could just do some oblique exercises on the right, but then I'd be sore on THAT side just as the left-side soreness was fading. WOE

Quick! Work both sides to exhaustion right now!

That way, they'll be too tired to notice a difference.

Oh no! I've made you lopsided. Here, let me help straighten you out.

Wait, if I help, things will be anything but straight. Damn.
