At the moment, it varies from borough to borough. Kent area is pretty much snowed in with no trains running beyond certain point. <br />Problem is in low temperatures as the arena surface becomes frozen and slippery. <br /><br />I really really hope for decent thaw and no flights problems. I miss my family terribly and will be rather upset if I can't go. <br /><br />The core exercises are great but as I am finding out, some exercises work for some riders and not for others. It all depends on their initial posture and movement mechanics. Some people need to stretch a muscle while others will only make themselves unstable if they do the same.<br />This is why I got Kari involved as I think there is more to postural improvements than just doing some off the shelf sit ups...<br /><br />The best "side-effect" of most exercise routines is improved body awareness which is what any rider needs in abundance. <br /><br />Looks like your exercises work for you though :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14036104794835542928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137999367218100398.post-91960531576859203602010-12-02T16:51:51.418+00:002010-12-02T16:51:51.418+00:00I do core exercises, and I have for years.

The reason I keep doing them is because I lost a lot of aches and pains that I had, and I grew 1/2"!Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137999367218100398.post-42113923041429749662010-12-02T16:12:53.852+00:002010-12-02T16:12:53.852+00:00I thought of you last night as I was riding in the...I thought of you last night as I was riding in the indoor arena while the snow was falling down outside! I hope your weather gets better. Do you get that much snow over there? We average about 60 inches a year, here.<br /><br />I hope you get to go home to Poland. You must really miss your family after all that time.Judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01696430372464786833noreply@blogger.com
