Crunches: I'm Not Doin' 'Em Wrong

Crunches: I Want Them to Be Easy.

They Aren’t.

Crunches. Every day. In October, my daughter watched me do crunches and said, “Mom, crunches: You’re doin’ it wrong.” I now do them right. Every day (or most days). They aren’t easy—yet. Each day, as I begin, I want them to be easy—or easier. They aren’t and I’m disappointed—every day. Today, eight months on, I realized they might not ever be easy. I also realized that is no longer important. What is important is that I continue to do them.

In life, many things aren’t easy, but that is no reason to stop doing them. Nor should that lack of ease keep you from starting hard things.

Want to start something? Is it hard? Don’t let that stop you.
