Patti, hope you enjoy your rest day. Sounds like your body is telling you it's time.
LOL about Rodney's "little panties"! I don't have any of his stuff, but yeah, men don't need to be in such limited attire!
I'll workout after I teach tonight. I'd like to do legs as long as I'm not too tired; otherwise it'll be upper body. Time to attend to the stack of grading waiting patiently next to me.

From Spring Oxygen...
Do 3 sets of 30 for each...
Twisting bench crunch:
Lying on the floor, place your lower legs on top of a flat bench. Position your supine body so that your upper legs (above knee) are vertical- calves are on bench with feet hanging off other side. Place hands behind head. Curl upper body up by flexing your abs (no jerking up). As your shoulders lift off the bloor, twist to the left, lower and repeat the crunch, twisting next to the right. Alterniate twists until your set is complete.
Toes to ceiling:
Lie on a bench (longwise along the bench), holding the bench behind your head for stability (head is on bench as is butt). Put your legs up pointed -toes will point too -so that they are entirely vertical. Keeping your legs vertical, raise your butt off the bench 5-6". Lower and repeat. There is no need to lift your butt way up so that your whole torso is lifted off the bench.
Reverse crunch:
Let on your back on a flat bench (as above), holding bench behind head. Start wtih toes just touching floor and keeping knees bent throughout, raise both legs simultaneously until your butt lifts off the bench. Lower and repeat. Pic shows butt off bench, rolling forward until just upper back in in contact wtih bench so it is not a small move. Above move is much smaller.
Knee tuck:
Sit on edge of a flat bench (on side of bench, not end). Place both hands behind butt, holding on to edge of bench. Lean back for balance, putting legs straight out front. Draw your bent knees in to your chest. Push out and repeat until the set is complete. Keep your feet together and abs contracted as you pull your knees in toward you.

Charlotte, LOL on Rodney Yee. I bought that one once and it came with some weighted gloves that were so tiny I had to have dh help get them off my hands. I took it back to the store. I watched it and didn't think I would really like it. I checked one out from the library once and didn't really care for it. I have some that I really like and some I don't care for. Yoga Shatki is pretty good. Tracey Staehle's yoga solutions is nice. I like Yoga X but I have to break it down to a shorter workout. It is too long. Rainbeau Mars Dawn yoga is pretty good too. I don't use it as much though.

Hi Hardcore Maniacs!
I wanted to ask you guys to give me some suggestions for some updated music for my ipod. I know you guys really go all out and wanted your suggestions.
Thanks!

needsmotivation...I think it is all personal preference. My preference is rock...Guns-N-Roses, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Kid Rock. Makes a heckuva a difference in workout when you got some rocking tunes...at least imo.
