No. It went out totally (difficulty standing) about 20+ years ago but I try to exercise 3 to 5 times a week now so I usually don't have problems. I think it is because I didn't exercise enough over the last month for various reasons but recent stress. > Mine has improved greatly since adding > " rolling planks " to my exercise routine.... Is this the exercise you're talking about? http://www.mountainbike.com/skills/article/1,4823,4881_641_P,00.html Rolling Planks: Lie facedown with your elbows beneath your shoulders, torso off the floor so your body is in a line, supported by your forearms and toes. Hold 5-10 seconds. Roll right, supporting your torso on your right forearm, raising your hips and stacking your feet so your body forms a plank. Put your left hand on your hip and raise your left leg. Hold. Roll to center 5-10 seconds and repeat on left. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Sorry to hear about the stress too. > > Mine has improved greatly since adding > > " rolling planks " to my exercise routine.... > Is this the exercise you're talking about? > > http://www.mountainbike.com/skills/article/1,4823,4881_641_P,00.html > Rolling Planks: Lie facedown with your elbows beneath > your shoulders, torso off the floor so your body is in > a line, supported by your forearms and toes.

Just be sure to keep the body in a straight line,no sagging or going too high in any of the positions. It's definitely been helpful for me. Oh, and I don't usually raise my upper leg, just let it set on top of the lower leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
