This is me, still slogging through my exercise program in my basement. And delighted to have a basement gym. Most days . . .

Article of the Week
As to why all this has been banished from official memory, it has everything to do with the way postmodern historians, pseudo-left academic activists and a succession of Liberal politicians have shaped the way we are allowed to talk about ourselves. About the way we are instructed to talk about slavery, about racism, immigration and the dynamic role Indigenous people played in building a new world from the late 1700s to well into the 20th century. - Emancipation Day: Against Revisionism, by Terry Glavin

I can definitely see your progress in your push-ups! You are much more solid in your core now. As well, Iām very happy to see your physiology approach has changed. The new exercises look promising. How long have you been working with the new approach to balancing the sides?
Heather – Thank you. That’s great. I’m always surprised by how much an observer with some knowledge sees (as opposed to what I see). My trainer can tell by watching my “plank step-outs” from above me and from several feet away whether I have my core “set.” As for the new approach, a few months. Maybe since September?
Hi Isabel,
I agree with Heather that I think the improvement in form in your pushups is very clear. You are much more stable, and your neck is straighter, which is hard to remember to do. Great work overall and thanks for the update!
Lorna
Lorna – š Thanks! I did notice that my head has stopped trying to help, which might be the same thing as having a straight neck. It’s good to have some video to compare, because every day it feels just as hard.
