Sticking to what I know, the essential ingredient in a ham sandwich is an inordinate quantity of English mustard: when you take a bite and feel the steam coming out of your ears, you know you've added nearly enough.<BR/><BR/>LB: yes, I also feel push-ups in the abdominals (now that I'm doing them right).Valda Redfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375583444323538525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789292.post-74698415931910947122008-08-08T23:41:00.000+01:002008-08-08T23:41:00.000+01:00I put the wasabi and the ginger on the sushi, then...I put the wasabi and the ginger on the sushi, then eat it. Now I learn I've been doing it wrong all these years. Sushi is more complicated than a ham sandwich.Myrhafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340507405537605164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789292.post-9232429918633600302008-08-07T00:13:00.000+01:002008-08-07T00:13:00.000+01:00Exactly.

I think that comes from trying to keep the right form.Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178771612031280593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789292.post-80905612818953070612008-08-07T00:04:00.000+01:002008-08-07T00:04:00.000+01:00My attempts at real push-ups do seem to have had a...My attempts at real push-ups do seem to have had a beneficial effect on my upper body strength, so I'll take your advice and keep plugging away at them. One advantage of push-ups, sit-ups etc. is that you can do them anywhere - home, a hotel room - and don't need any equipment.Valda Redfernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18375583444323538525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8789292.post-80873755364204164862008-08-05T19:42:00.000+01:002008-08-05T19:42:00.000+01:00I once had a personal trainer (when my house was s...I once had a personal trainer (when my house was somewhat smaller and my discretionary funds somewhat larger) who said that if she could do only one exercise it would be push-ups.<BR/><BR/>They <I>are</I> hard, but really worth the effort to do correctly.
