As for stomach muscles, well, I haven't been in possession of such things since well before the births of two kids, and even when I did have them they were pretty lazy articles. The problem with your chair-pain could be turned to your advantage if you use it as a deadline and challenge yourself to write that conversation, describe that location, revise five pages, all before the pain gets too much to endure. xLorna Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10902741383469719107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261284053953718962.post-42514369017999913512010-04-02T17:33:46.442+01:002010-04-02T17:33:46.442+01:00I saw agents at Winchester a few years ago - a gre...I saw agents at Winchester a few years ago - a great experience, but noisy!<br /><br />Pilates is great for everything, give it a go :o)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-261284053953718962.post-19792882794718318232010-04-02T16:59:30.526+01:002010-04-02T16:59:30.526+01:00Well if agent-seeing isn't fearsome enough to ...Well if agent-seeing isn't fearsome enough to get you going, I don't know what is!<br /><br />Stomach muscles?
