Start STRONG.

I began my morning with an exercise. While lying flat on my back in bed, I lifted my legs ~six inches  up above my bed. SIMULTANEOUSLY, , I lifted my back ~a foot above my bed. (I held my limbs up in the air for extended amounts of time.) (My lengths of time that I held my limbs UP were as follows: 120 seconds, 90 seconds, 90 seconds, 60 seconds, 60 seconds, 60 seconds.  (So, THAT adds up to 120 + 90 + 90 + 60 + 60 + 60 = 480 seconds = eight minutes of abdominal-"work".   GOO STUFF!
