Zowie! Yesterday's effort found muscles I didn't know I had. I know this is going to work.

Today: 2 minutes, on forearms

I'm not sure I should do this every day, but I'll see how it goes. I'm thinking Liz's suggestion of hold, rest, hold might be a technique for improving that works better than just holding for an increasing length of time. Any thoughts?

Thanks for all the resource links.

My advice? Don't hold your breath! I know this sounds silly, but it's common in other resistance workouts for people to stop breathing. Also, try to relax. Again, that sounds like a contradiction. Your whole body is participating! But it helps to think about holding--the word engaging is often used--not tensing up.

On with the day!
