Today's blog will be quick.
Trying to keep up my "pace" to get the numbers that I want has me at a crossroad. To get the "numbers" I want, I have had to modify my sit ups.
The proper sit up we do for our "fitness grading requirements" is very hard for me to do. I have an old tired hip ( RH ) that really hates sit ups. To do them the proper way physically pains me after about 25-30. Then it takes quite a bit of time recover and do more. So I have modified my sit ups to exclude my hip pain. This is getting me my numbers BUT I feel like I am "cheating" on my numbers. I do crunches, leg lifts and a standing style that I don't have a name for. I can feel my core muscles through out this and they do get tired BUT..... its not the proper way. Am I cheating or am I modifying to get the job done? My core is feeling stronger, my pants fit better, and I seem to be able to endure more of the core work we do in class than I used to before.
I would love to hear what others have to say on this and if there another style of sit up they do that doesn't make my hip scream at me.

Moving along at a quick pace on some, not so much on others. One that I feel really good about is my "Major Projects completed" one. I seem to be more determined this spring/summer to get "stuff" done, and it feels GOOOOD.
