Ab Workout

Well, I had my first real physical therapy appointment today and I am sore.  First, I did an ab workout that consisted of the tens machine stimulating my abs and back while I contracted my abs.  Then I pumped it up by doing the same thing while holding a ball.  After I did some leg stretches to length my hamstrings.  Then the guy said he wanted me to do ten minutes on the treadmill and I said, "Uh, how about the elliptical machine because ten minutes on the treadmill ain't even worth me changing my bra."  Ten minutes, schwen minutes.   I was doing that six months ago.  He asked what would happen if I did ten minutes.  I thought, "Duh, I'd be bored."  I'll do an hour.  No problem.  So I got on the elliptical machine for 10 minutes and I got tired.  And now I'm sore.  But a good sore- I think.  In any case, I'm trying Sara's homemade remedy for muscle soreness:  red wine.
