Squeeze and crunch

[cjsmith]

If you're a computer programmer, your livelihood depends in large part on your hands and on the health of their flexor tendons. If you have foot or leg problems, your ability to exercise (and thus your cardiovascular health) depends in large part on your hands and on the health of their flexor tendons. In other words, I now have a grip squeezie.

Got a question for all you fitness buffs out there. How do you work the abdominal muscles that AREN'T the basic six-pack rectus abdominis? How about those obliques and that deep transverse one?

If it really takes only 8 minutes, I'm there. (Especially if it doesn't require video display equipment, 'cause I don't have any of that handy.) I'm thinking of creating lots of different exercise things to do, and mixing them up a bit, just to avoid boredom. Something like an 8-minute-abs routine could be a good addition.

It really only takes 8 minutes (per day), and it's a video you could download from YouTube and play on your computer if you want.

Excellent. I won't do it daily (I'll have other stuff in the rotation) but doing it every few is better than nothing.

Thanks for the recommendation! I did a round of this this morning. (Turns out YouTube has quite a few of these, so I picked one with good crisp sound and not a lot of wasted time in the intro.)
