Gotta start somewhere.

The Kitchen Workout

Who's up for some deep knee bends?  How about some squats?  I have another suggestion for the weak of heart  and the the weak of knees. Lets just start moving.  Last week I suggested bicep curls with cans of soup.  This week how about a few squats - At the Sink.

When I started doing squats about 10 years ago my knee surgeon suggested squats at the sink.  He told me to stand at the kitchen sink and hold on to the counter and bend the knees slightly into a squat.  Ever so slightly.  It doesn't have to hurt.  Doesn't have to be a lot. Just one, or two or three at a time.  Just hang on to the sink.  The idea is to start bending the knees and lead up to challenging yourself to do a few more.  In a month or two you can let go of the sink and balance yourself at a kitchen chair.

So this weeks workout will be:

soup can curls.
squats at the sink.

Helpful hints:

I MAKE SURE the kitchen blinds are closed.  It is not necessary to freak out the squirrels and chipmunks.

Twenty months ago I couldn't perform three sit-ups without whining, crying and dying... I'm now up to 25 sit-ups a min for 6 min straight.  Although that is right after a one hour boxing/cardio workout. I sincerely believe if I would try this before the workout I could most likely pump out 26 sit-ups a min.  :)
