Doing the daily 50

Wheels of Happiness

On top of biking, this post, strive to do the daily 50:    push up, crunch, lunges, sit ups, push up, step up on chair(left and right)  350 reps in all.

I have to maintain my muscle mass and strength.  I saw an in law who spends most of this time sitting down or on a walker, because he cant walk because his legs and thighs are weak

For how long I can maintain my physical health, only God knows

Strengthening core body muscles can make you better rider

I had only one ride last week.  And yet, I was able to join the peloton, the lead pack (Jun Vic, Jericho, Jorge and Jess) from Tanay to km 58  and they were doing 45 kph (my first time to do so)   I and Joel were ahead too at Bugarin

Choco choco interviewed me about my secret training.  Joel said too that I pedaled well last Sunday.  All I could remember is that I do 100 sit ups (crunches) daily and 100 push ups.(That is a lot.  There are plenty of variations:  slow, hard interval, offset, one on floor, one on bench,  putting your feet on elevated item like bench  -  they are are hard push ups I tell you)  I think they do wonders for our breathing ability and the connection of the thigh muscles to the abdomen and back.

I think we should encourage others do crunches and push ups too.  They help remove flabs and make us slimmer.  Remember,  those who have slimmer waists live longer.  Many of us, I could count up to 10 have large tummies
