I've decided that today will be an E-Z day, with just the routine cardio, core and pull-ups, but two sets. I know the second set is never as easy as the first, but at least it's done. I'm not impressed with the knee-tap plank so I might ditch it. Today I only feel it in my quads, not my lower abs. Dead Bugs work that much better, and I always do those after crunches.
The gym will be open on Thanksgiving, but I'm not going. Heck, I might not make it on Black Friday either, but only because I have the dreaded annual mammogram and echo scheduled for that day. I am amused that research is now showing exercise to be beneficial to cancer prevention. We all know that exercise is good for you but it's always been assumed that just meant cardiovascular system (heart and lungs), and muscle & bones to keep you from falling over and breaking something when you get old. But cancer? Whoa... and all because the exercising body greedily prevents oxygen from becoming available to those rogue miscreants.
I've been watching a lot of odd detective shows, like The Sinner with Bill Pullman. And The Stranger, with its oddly catchy soundtrack, Monster. What I love about streaming these shows that the close captioning option gives me the name of the song and the band who performs it. And this is how I've come to enjoy Walking On Cars, an Irish band that sadly disbanded a few years ago. But not before releasing a few albums. I'm going to listen to a few more songs before seeing if anything's on CD. They've become immensely popular since that show aired...
