FAQs

At least once a day, Lynndi Lauper and Doctor nln ask each other this question. But it's really code for 'share your workout plan'. And if there is no workout plan, the convo gets even more supercharged as it turns to special topics like injuries, therapies, out of town guests, extensive travel requirements of the gig, or exhaustion. And the other most FAQ is "What are you eating for dinner?" Doctor nln and Lynndi have so much combined knowledge that blogging it was inevitable.

Witness as we beat ourselves up with hideous workout plans and then gorge on lemon heads and sugar free ice cream.

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday News All in One Place

So, nln.

On Saturday, because I had worked out Friday night and because if I worked out too much on Saturday BEFORE the gig, I could maybe hurt my hip all over again, I just did 75 pushups and sit-ups. I did not get hurt before, during, or after the gig.

On Sunday, I got up too late to join you at Peg's class, so I made a plan to try a bunch of exercises from Men's Health. We were getting ready for lunch and rearranging the gear so that everyone would be able to get to their stuff and also to the delicious party leftovers, when suddenly I picked up two guitars - light as can be AND about the same weight on each side - and screwed up my lower back. Since even an ab crunch seemed dangerous, my workout consisted of moping, ibuprofen, and television.

I was hesistant today cause my back AND hip still hurt, but we went to the gym, and I managed the following: 40 minutes on the elliptical (shades of last year!), 100 pushups (some of which were included in that fun plank walk/burpee thing we've done with Peg), 100 crunches (no obliques cause my back sent a stern warning), 50 crosses with 5 lb weights, 100 tricep dips, 100 of this lunge/curl/press combination exercise, 100 frogs. I messed around with a couple of other exercises but felt like I should quit while I was ahead.

I know you were there before we were. What did you do?
