This (and the associated entries that will follow) were made with my 'note' application, a simple program to compile, edit, and otherwise manipulate collections of plain text notes (known informally as notebooks) from the commandline. It is simple to use ('note SUBJECT' such as 'note tech' to add a new note, it will tell you the ID code as you finish making the entry), and I shall be writing more about it in my technical journal.
Find an l-shaped piece of guardrail (preferably within legs-reach of the ground):
1 +- | |2 |
Grip near the corner(1) with your shoes or feet, your body should be balanced along (2) with your spine lined up with the handrail. Having a vertical support near your hands helps, though it can be done without. I recommend with a handrail first, as it makes learning how to mount the guardrail easier. Thicker guardrail is easier, until it gets too big to fit the indentation of your spinal column.
Later, try the exercise on a chain link fence (the kind that has brackets holding the top in place -- the type without brackets may not be secure).
Improves: balance, abdominals, fine muscle control, awareness, calmness |
