I like Water

3 sets:

20 4 count bicycle crunches
20 ab rollers
30 reverse crunches
10 side raises
10 front raises

This was yesterday's workout.  I was feeling really sore so I went with an easier routine.  This one is really easy to do and doesn't tax the major muscle groups much.

It might seem like I know a lot about fitness or staying in shape.  I suppose I'm more in shape than the average person who spends 8-12 hours a day at a desk.  However, I don't for a second claim to be some kind of expert on  fitness or more importantly technique.  What I mean by that is that there is a proper form to doing any kind of movement.  Anything from pushups to crunches to air squats has a proper technique.  Although, I don't think I'm miles off the mark.  I am sure if I went to a real crossfit gym I would get corrected.  That being said, there is one thing I'm pretty sure I'm doing right.  That is hydration.  This is something I didn't take seriously in high school.  In the Marines they used to force us to drink water repeatedly on hot days.  Now I drink something like 10 glasses of water every day at work.  It means I'm going to the bathroom a lot but I know for sure I am hydrated.  I know I'm not supposed to be peeing completely clear.  I typically shoot for a light yellow coloration and keep it that way throughout the day.  I even drink 2 big glasses of water right before going to bed.  This is important since I workout early in the morning.
