"I don't feel this," says everyone who holds a plank. And it's true. Due to the isometric muscle contraction of a conventional plank, it's hard to feel like we are actually "working" our abdominal muscles. This isn't to discount the benefits of this movement, as it is great...
If someone told me in my twenties I'd be single and living with my cat at age 30, I would've told them they were crazy. If someone told me as a kid I'd be wearing sweatpants to work every day, I would've told them they were...
I've had a bevy of followers reach out in the past few weeks asking a few of the same questions: When the heck will they open a Game of Thrones amusement park? Or how do you tackle people hovering over the Starbucks counter? Okay, these were up there. Jokes...
