Breathe -- D'uh

Two types of exercise still just about kill me. Push-ups and abdominal exercises of every type. But someone gave me the most important hint -- I can't remember if it was a fellow worker-outer, or a trainer in a health club, or someone on a fitness tape, but it CHANGED EVERYTHING.

They said most people just down BREATHE enough when they do ab crunches and it really matters. So I started making a conscious effort to breathe and wow, what a difference it made. Same thing when it comes to push-ups.
