    I do my sit ups 10 at a time alternated with 20 squats. I ache so much :blush:
    Sorry to hear you don't feel good doing them that's not good. Have you spoken to a doctor about it?

    Happy Birthday to your hubby 🎂 I’ve been there with the aches the next day. Once after a particularly tough abs workout it hurt when I laughed or sneezed the next day. The things we do to keep in shape 😆

    My legs always feel like jelly for about first hour when I get up and then hurt for the rest of the day. It hurts to laugh or sneeze thanks to the sit ups as well lol

    Thought of you today when I did another of the Rick You Tube workouts, I did the 5000 steps one and really enjoyed it.

    Oh that’s just so dire about your work friend. Let’s hope it hasn’t spread and she can be treated 🙏  Don’t blame you for going to see her.
