Smarty Boy takes yoga at his middle school. Yes, as a Texan, I’m not sure whether to feel enlightened or embarrassed. Regardless, SB recently taught me the dolphin plank position, as opposed to the (straight arm) plank that I’ve done in the past to develop upper body strength. In about 30 seconds, I may have gotten the most intense ab workout I’ve ever experienced.
I know you’re snorting because I could only hold the position for half a minute, but I promise, the dolphin plank is better than a hundred crunches. The next day, your obliques will feel like someone’s jabbed a stiletto heel in your ribs.
And that’s a good thing? It is, if you can tattoo “Budweiser” on your abs soon after!

Conflicting reports…It may be National Kick Butt Day, where people give themselves a nudge in the hindquarters to get in gear. No excuses.
Me? I like to think of it as National Kick Someone Else’s Butt Day :).
It’s also World Mental Health Day, and if only the mentally healthy are celebrating, it must not be much of a party.
