I have a black coffee table that my father used as a television stand. I know it’s really stupid, but my father does these strange things quite often. I mean he works in shifts, quite free at home, need some sort of entertainment, although I do have to admit my mother doesn’t quite approve of his entertainment techniques.
I looked at the table again, and realize some features in it. It has a slot on the bottom to chunk newspapers and stuff. But I saw a different use for it. I thought it’s a brilliant place to slot in my feet to do sit ups. And since the television is on the table, there’s a certain weight to it hence the table doesn’t go moving around.
So I anchored my ankle? Okay, I anchored my feet to the table and start doing sit ups.
“One.”
“Two.”
..
“Seventeen.”
Okay, I wasn’t feeling very well after only 17 sit ups. “I’ll do till 20 then,” I tell myself.
“Eigh.. no.. wait.. Was it sixteen or seventeen before? Seventeen? Sixteen? Okay, I’ll continue from seventeen. Seventeen.”
“Eigh..teen”
“Nine….teen”
“Twen……ty”
So I did it, I did 20 sit ups and I am feeling this pain around the stomach muscles. This pain that I feel when I bend my body. It’s so bad that my stomach muscles felt the pain for 2 days!
Morals? I have a few. Firstly, don’t do sit ups too fast, especially after the fact that you know you haven’t been doing sit ups for the past 2 years. Secondly, if you can’t continue, don’t continue, there’s no need to aim for a figure that is a multiple of 5. Last but not least, count properly, don’t do extra sit ups, it’s not worth it, at least in my case.
Some people says singing helps to ease pain. But you know, these stuff are totally crap anyway.
“Go away, pain; go away, pain..”
