Cache Creek asks for $3 million in aid
Cache Creek’s annual Graffiti Days was one of the best ever with one of the highest turnouts for cars and old car fans. The Langley Loafers reported their biggest ever event at the Motorplex.
Cache Creek Council approved the submission of nearly $3 million dollars worth of restoration projects to the Disaster Financial Assistance program at a special meeting called last Friday. Even if every project is approved for maximum funding, the Village would still be liable for $600,000 of the costs. The Village has engaged Nor-ex Engineering to assist with a disaster recovery plan. That includes identifying damage that needs to be addressed and places to seek funding. One of the projects approved is have Nor-ex continue with their disaster recovery role for the next three months. Nor-ex VP Operations Neil Barrett explained that the projects were divided into A, B, C priorities as well as “Enhancement”. The projects include everything from the complete restoration of Stage Rd. and Old Cariboo Rd., to the demolition of two severely damaged homes to debris removal and compensation for staff time devoted to flood assistance. “A” priorities included Stage Road restoration which was estimated at $1.7 million. Lopez-Cache Creek Rehabilitation is listed in the “B” priorities for $600,000. “This is a living document,” Barrett told Council. “It forms the lion’s share of the recovery plan.” He advised Council that projects would be added as discovered and they would be looking for other grants to lessen the Village’s liability.
Landfill gas use becomes reality Wastech celebrated the official opening of its Landfill Gas Utilization Plant at the Cache Creek Landfill on Monday, an initiative that will generate electricity at a rate of 4.8 megawatts – enough to power more than 2500 typical households. The project traps gas that is naturally generated from the landfilling process, and sells it to BC Hydro. Representatives of Wastech and its parent company Belkorp Environmental Services Inc. were joined by MLA Jackie Tegart and John Ranta, Mayor of Cache Creek, to cut the ribbon official-

ly celebrating the project’s commencement. “By utilizing the gas that is naturally generated, this investment adds a new dimension to the waste management practices at the Cache Creek Landfill,” said Stuart Belkin, Chairman & CEO of Belkorp Industries Inc. Mayor Ranta thanked the foresight of previous town councils for welcoming Wastech and the landfill to Cache Creek. “This is yet another indication Cache Creek is alive and well contrary to news reports of the past week,” he said.

POLICE REPORT Wendy Coomber
Drivers arrested
Graffiti Days revellers weren’t nearly as well behaved this time as they have been in recent years, leading to a record number of eight individuals being held in Ashcroft cells at one time, on Saturday night. Most were brought in from unrelated incidents. Police also issued one 90-day suspension for impaired driving which included a vehicle impoundment, the arrest of a prohibited driver, also with an impound, and a fight outside the Oasis bar after closing that resulted in the arrest of three men, one Kamloops (30), Salmon Arm (35) and Vernon (32).
Wrong turn at Lillooet
June 6 at 9:30 pm a 57 year old Ontario man reported that his 23 year old son was missing. The two had been travelling by motorcycle on Hwy 99 when they separated. The son said he would meet his
father in Cache Creek, but wasn’t there when his father arrived, and couldn’t be reached by cell phone. He was located in Lillooet several hours later after having taken a wrong turn there, travelling several km before realizing his mistake. He made it to Cache Creek in good shape.
Cleaning not up to standards
June 11 at pm police responded to an abandoned 911 call in Cache Creek. A 28 year old man admitted to making the call because he felt his landlord was not doing a good job of cleaning the air ducts since the May 23 flood. He was told this was not a police matter and using 911 for this complaint could be construed as mischief - a criminal offense.
Unruly patron
June 13 at 7 pm while surveying the beer garden at the Cache Creek community hall, a 44 year old Pavilion man was observed yelling and swearing which kicking tables and pushing over chairs. He was arrested and lodged in cells until sober.

Party of three
June 13 at 11 pm police received a report of a screaming woman being dragged by two men in the Cache Creek Park. Police located the trio drinking, yelling and laughing. All parties denied they were actually yelling. They were told to keep the noise down and leave the park. The woman, 45, and one man, 54, were from the 103 Mile. The other man, 37, was from Lillooet.
Impaired driving
June 13 at 11 pm police stopped a vehicle at the Husky for failing to signal a turn. The driver displayed signs of intoxication and was asked to blow into a roadside sobriety device. The 31 year old Kelowna man blew a Warn and was given a three-day suspension. His vehicle, a 1972 Buick Skylark, was driven to a local motel by a sober friend.
Injured in fall
June 14 at 12:45 am police were called to a Cache Creek motel after an in-
toxicated guest fell and hit his head. He was located with blood on his face and a deep laceration over one eye. He said he tripped on a step and landed face first against the side of his car, against one of the side mirrors. The 38 year old man was transported to the Ashcroft hospital for treatment.
Flat tire causes accident
June 14 at 9:30 am police a attended a single vehicle collision on Hwy 1 about 10 km south of Ashcroft after the driver of a 2009 Chev Tahoe lost control of his vehicle, flipping the travel trailer he was towing. The driver, a 67 year old Surrey man, said the front driver’s side tire suddenly went flat, causing him to lose control. Neither he nor his 68 year old wife were injured. The trailer was towed.
Woman assaulted
June 15 RCMP are looking for a 28 year old man after a 24 year old woman was assaulted on the Ashcroft Reserve. She suffered minor injuries.

by Barbara Roden The recent flood in Cache Creek has brought out the best in many people, with volunteers helping those in need and donations pouring in to assist people who were hardest hit. Students from Ashcroft Secondary School volunteered for several work bees organized by the school; out-of-towners have come by to ask how they could help; Zimmer Wheaton GM in Kamloops donated the use of a dump trailer and bobcat; Interior Roads donated the use of two dump trucks and a loader to clear out a property near the highway that was particularly hard hit; and groups such as Samaritan’s Purse - a non-denominational evangelical Christian organisation that provides physical and spiritual aid to those

in need - have been in Cache Creek for more than a week, helping to dig out residences that machinery can’t get to. There are, however, people who will try to profit from the misfortune of others, and Tony and Aurora Kovacs appear to have suffered as a result. Their property on the south side of town between Cache Creek and Hwy 1 was one of the hardest hit, and volunteers salvaged tools and a workbench with a vise and grinder from a workshop on the property, which also had a number of fishing rods in it. Most of the items were placed in the yard and driveway, but have since gone missing. Volunteer Clayton Cassidy says he doesn’t know of anyone else who has reported missing items. Tony and Aurora were evacuated to a local motel immediately following the flood, so there was no one to watch the property. There were also fears that the couple - along with other evacuees staying at Cache Creek motels - would have to leave their accommodations because of previous bookings by those attending Graffiti Days. However, Cassidy reported that all the evacuees were told they could stay where they were, with other arrangements being made for people with prior bookings. Several severely impacted people who are unable to return to their homes are seeking longer-term accommodations. Anyone who knows of, or has access to, available rental property is urged to contact the Village Office at 1389 Quartz Rd. (457-6237). Cassidy said that the Village has come a long way since the flood. “Considering what the trailer court looked like, it’s amazing,” he said. “Lots of work has been done to dig them out. Some places have taken four or five days to dig out.” He noted that there are properties that machinery can’t access, so work is being done by hand. “Samaritan’s Purse spent a day digging out a property on Valleyview.” “The response has been great,” added Cassidy, noting that while things were somewhat disorganized at the start, there’s been a real effort to match volunteers with demand. While the Resiliency Centre at the Community Hall closed on Sunday June 14, and the phone number there is no longer in service, anyone who needs information or assistance, would like to volunteer, has items/money to donate, or would like to sign out landscaping equipment should contact the Village Office, which can answer any flood-related inquiries.

Politicians wade into the floodwaters
“The TV cameras don’t catch the full reality of what took place in Cache Creek,” said Harry Lali, former NDP MLA for the riding, while he was in Cache Creek on June 3. “Seeing it is very different. It’s a lot bigger than I originally thought.” He said the impression he got from the initial media coverage was that 10 to 15 houses may have been affected. In reality, it’s more like 50 to 60. “I came not only to look around but to show I care,” he said. “Just because I’m not MLA doesn’t mean I don’t care anymore.” Lali pitched in to help Tony and Aurora Kovacs clean up their damaged property. “It’s the job of the government to look after its citizens,” he said. People are starting to get frustrated by by the response to their suffering, he said. “The Premier came out and promised help,” said Lali. “Stick to your word! Cabinet has discretion in terms of helping people.” MLA Jackie Tegart said they’ve had one request for help through their office, which they are looking into. She said another seven or eight DFA applicants have been declined, mostly because their eligible claims were under the $1,000 minimum. Disaster Financial Assistance is exactly that, said Tegart. It isn’t insurance. It has criteria. She said the May 23 flood in Cache Creek will cost many property owners a lot of money, and she worked to ensure that DFA was offered immediately and that the people of Cache Creek would get the maximum available under the DFA. Tegart added that she has been approached by a number of people who have asked how they could donate to the flood victims. She directed them to the Cache Creek Village Office, or online at www.cachecreekvillage.com

In addition to the cash, IG Machine and Fibers also paid for a one day service of a vacuum truck from Lynx Creek to suck up water and mud from residents homes, as well as giving affected employees paid leave to clean up their homes and assist with any other necessary work in the community.

Flood victims still waiting for money, action
Nearly four weeks after the “once in a hundred years” flash flood that swept through Cache Creek on May 23, the worst-affected residents are still living in motel rooms. Charlene Milward is one of them. Although the Red Cross will help her cover the temporary accommodations, it’s not home.

Fire hall useable but messy by Barbara Roden Deconstruction work has been completed on the Cache Creek fire hall, but reconstruction can’t begin until it’s approved by the Village; and Fire Chief Tom Moe doesn’t know when that will be. “A quote was delivered to the Village Office on June 12,” said Moe, but added that work on the fire hall is not considered a priority at the moment. Repairs to Village infrastructure have been assigned levels A, B, and C, with projects in level A being the first ones addressed. The fire hall repairs are in level C. The hall suffered considerable damage during the May 23 flood. The force of the floodwater caused the bay doors front and back to buckle, leaving the hall submerged in mud, debris, and water. Moe said that the firefighters were able to salvage most of their gear, with individual members taking their gear home and cleaning it. The coveralls and gloves were taken by a restoration company, cleaned, and returned. Home Depot also donated a heavy-du-

Fundraising is far from being done Earlier this week, someone told me that someone had told them that the fundraising for the Cache Creek flood victims was done. Finished. She asked me if that was true. I said absolutely not true. Funny what people get into their heads. She said she didn’t think it was true. In fact, she told the person that Cache Creek would be fundraising forEVER. I had to agree. The current fundraising tally of $115,691 is far from the $500,000 needed by the people impacted by the flooding. It’s a great start, but if you’ve ever replaced a major appliance, flooring, furniture, hot water tank, etc., then you’ll know it’s not cheap.

Local health care is only getting worse Dear Editor I am glad to see letters from our local people taking Interior Health to task about how they not doing anything to help local health care. (I was disgusted by I.H.’s letter in the May 14 copy of The Journal, which, I think, is typical of their propaganda.) My experience with I.H. has been totally negative. My husband and I used to donate $500 every year toward the cost of things to improve the palliative care unit in our hospital (this in the beginning of the year 2000 and latter part of 1900s). We were told that I.H. was taking part of that money so we asked if we could buy something for the unit. The people in charge of palliative care said that wouldn’t help because they controlled everything in the unit and could do with it as they wished! Then later, I.H. closed the surgery and sent all the equipment to Kamloops. Before that, the hospital delivered babies, set broken bones and did minor surgery, like appendectomies. This is progress?!

Fundraisers helping Cache Creek Flood victims by Barbara Roden Donations continue to arrive, and more fundraising events are being planned, to assist residents of Cache Creek who suffered residential and property damage in the May 23 flood. BlackPress4Good and the United Way have been collecting donations, with the two campaigns raising a total of more than $120,000 so far. Both campaigns can be accessed through the Villages’s website (www.cachecreekvillage.com). However, when it comes time to decide how the FundRazr campaign, administered by the Village, is accessed and disbursed, politicians won’t be involved, says Cache Creek Councillor Wyatt McMurray. “It’s important that the process is transparent and fair. When politicians are around that isn’t always the case,” said McMurray. “It removes a level of potential conflict, perceived or otherwise.” McMurray said that a committee will be formed in mid- to late-July, and will be made up of representatives from groups such as UNited Way, the Lions, and the Cache Creek Volunteer Fire Department, as well as residents. Once the committee is struck, it will be up to the group to decide who can access the funds, when and how requests can be made, and how the money will be disbursed. In the meantime, fundraising events continue throughout various area communities in aid of flood relief. “Music has charms to soothe a savage breast,” wrote playwright and poet William Congreve, and music remains a feature of many of these events. Concerts in Ashcroft and 100 Mile House resulted in more than $8,000 in dona-

On Friday July 3 a dinner, auction, and silent auction will start at 5pm in the Cache Creek Community Hall, and will feature tribute bands honouring ABBA and Fleetwood Mac. A concert and dance on Saturday July 4 features tribute bands with the music of AC/DC, Aerosmith, and Guns and Roses. The event starts at 7pm in the Hall. “These are some of the most sought-after tribute bands in Canada,” said McMurray. “The bands are very busy right now with festivals, and usually we couldn’t afford to get them in our area, but they wanted to come and help and be part of it. Sponsors are paying for their travel and the bands have really cut their usual fees.” McMurray
added that 100 per cent of the proceeds of both concerts will go to flood relief, and said that there will be a maximum of 250 tickets for each event. “We’ve just finalized the deals,” he said, with details about price and availability still to be worked out. The upcoming shows are just part of the ongoing effort to raise funds to assist residents of Cache Creek. An online auction that closed on Monday raised well over $10,000, and on Friday June 19 a dinner and auction fundraiser is being held at the Black Bull Pub in Logan Lake. Five dollars from every dinner ticket sold, as well as all the money raised by the auction, will be donated to Cache Creek Flood Relief. The doors open at 5, and dinner starts at 6.

Youth and stamina take first in tournament The Ashcroft and District Tennis Association (ADTA) held its annual spring invitational tournament June 13 under ideal weather conditions and contestants produced some of the most nailbiting matches ever. That said, the tournament pitted the young and the old, mixed pairs, and married team players who competed so differently but passionately when playing for the coveted ADTA trophy and gift certificates sponsored by Clem Dion, Manager of Graymont Western Canada – one of the largest suppliers of lime products in North America. No one could have predicted what exactly would unfold and the championship match came down to two very contrasting teams - one with a combined age of 145 and the other being only 75. After the eight-team round robin play and then sudden death playoff elimination, it came down to an epic battle between the will of experience and the stamina of youth.

The fight for a cure type
Kim Findlater is what some refer to as a helicopter parent, constantly hovering nearby, watching that her child is safe and out of harm’s way. But this style of parenting wasn’t one she chose - rather it was thrust upon her when her seven-year-old daughter Arielle was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, also called type 1 diabetes, in late September 2013. It was a disease she and her husband never saw coming. “I always thought it was genetic,” Kim said. “Or something brought on by a poor diet, it wasn’t anything we ever worried about.” But looking back, she can now recognize there were signs. Arielle would come home from school, drink copious amounts of water and frequent the bathroom. Kim figured it was because she wasn’t allowed to leave during class and was therefore not drinking enough during the day. She had also become very skinny. Her appetite was large, so her thinness didn’t worry her parents. They thought she was just
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE LORI WELBOURNE loriwelbourne.com going through a growth spurt. And she was tired. A three hour nap in the middle of the day that resulted in her waking up looking fatigued and not her vibrant self had her parents taking her to the doctor. Blood samples were ordered and with a blood glucose level at 16 she was immediately admitted to the hospital where she would stay for the next seven days. Her body had been feeding off itself and she had to endure countless needles to get her glucose levels balanced. Dehydrated and constipated, she also had to drink a disgusting potassium drink or she’d end up in the intensive care unit at the hospital. “We bribed her with gifts to get her to drink
that vile stuff,” Kim said. “Between that and blood samples every half hour, the poor kid proved to have stronger nerves than us.” Her diagnosis of type 1 diabetes came as a shock, and her life, and the lives of her family, would forever be changed. Already busy with Arielle, and another daughter Isla, who was 18 months old, Kim was about to restart her own small business as a nail technician after maternity leave. But she had no idea how much would change until she lived the reality of the new diagnosis. A crash course on the disease she knew little about would start it off. Type 1 diabetes can happen to anyone, it’s not preventable and you can’t pre-test. It’s a
chronic condition that usually appears during childhood or adolescence in which the pancreas doesn’t produce insulin, a hormone that enables us to get energy from food. Fortunately, through medical research, great strides have been made and it’s no longer a death sentence. Insulin can be administered to the patient in an attempt to keep them at the normal levels our bodies are supposed to regulate naturally. That was easier said than done. Kim would have to monitor everything Arielle consumed as well as any physical activity she participated in, and then calculate how much insulin she’d need to bring her sugar levels to a livable state. For the first year anywhere from four to nine shots were given a day, and she initially had to monitor her blood glucose levels throughout the night. Arielle now wears a device that automatically checks every five minutes. “That’s an extra $350/ month just to sleep,” Kim said. “Even with a good medical plan, there are many extra

expenses.” Another cost has been Arielle’s peer interaction. Once a social butterfly, she now appears to many children as broken and isn’t included. “She used to be so easygoing,” her mother said. “She’s more sensitive now. Blood sugar levels influence that. Some kids can be cruel - any sign of weakness and they feed off it. She’s often found in a quiet corner reading alone rather than playing with others.” Kim can’t drop Arielle off at Brownies, a birthday party or a sleepover like most parents. She now has to remain close by in case something happens. And being available at a moment’s notice has obviously affected her work, making it impossible to run
her business. “I have lots of idle time so she can have as close to a normal and fulfilling life as possible.” Being the primary caregiver to their daughter’s daily needs, Kim’s husband has taken on the role of his wife’s supporter as well as the one to handle the administrative side of things. “If we need to buy a pump, David’s the one who will find out which one we should get.” Fundraising has resulted in some tremendous improvements for the people living with type 1 diabetes and their families – the pump being one of them. This Sunday Arielle and her family will participate in the TELUS Walk to Cure Diabetes to raise money for re-
search to better treat, cure and prevent it. If you’d like to support all the people affected by this disease, get more information and donate, please visit JDRFca.DonorDrive. com – Arielle’s team. While a bit of a grey cloud hangs over their heads when it comes to their beautiful little girl’s future, the Findlaters are optimistic knowing any improvements resulting from this research will directly impact her life and the lives of over 300,000 Canadians living with type 1 diabetes. Delivering a practical cure by 2025 is the goal, but with enough help, it could be even sooner than that. Lori Welbourne is a syndicated columnist. She can be contacted at LoriWelbourne.com

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, play things close to the vest this week. Certain projects are up in the air, and you may need to more closely examine each situation before suggesting a course of action. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It can be tough to stay on track this week, Gemini. It’s hard to focus on work even for short periods of time. Try to maintain your productivity amidst the distractions. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, if you have any free time this week, sneak off to a quiet place and daydream for a little while. Some of your most inspiring ideas have come at the most unexpected moments. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 The line between fact and fantasy can be a bit blurry this week, Leo. You may be pulled in different directions, but try to maintain your focus. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, rather than looking at things on the surface, dig a little deeper to try to find more profound meanings. You may unearth several interesting patterns. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may feel as though you are in unfamiliar surroundings this week. Don’t get too scared, as this break from the norm might provide a little extra hop in your step. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Recognize the potential for magic wherever you go this week, Scorpio. You have the ability to see beauty where others only see blemishes. Turn others on to your way of thinking. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, encourage family members to gather in the coming days. Planning a day or evening with those you love most is a great way to escape the daily grind. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, honuor all of your commitments in the coming days. Recognize others are counting on you and do your best to live up to their expectations. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, give a minor financial issue the attention it deserves. It’s better to nip it in the bud early on so the situation does not escalate. Take responsibility for the problem. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, avoid distractions as you look to resolve an issue that has been tough to handle. Try to clear your head before making decisions.

Let the bells ring out! Loraine Shwaluk, Reta Robertson, Helen Forster, Jacklyn Desrosiers, Phyllis Gray, Susan Little and Helen Akselsen gathered on June 10 at Zion United to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the formation of the United Church of Canada by ringing its bell 90 times beginning at precisely 10:30 AM local time. All United churches across Canada with working bells were asked to ring their bells on June 10. Reta Robertson said she had heard the bell in Barriere has lost its clapper so the congregation was going to hit it 90 times with a mallet!

Five exercises for fitness and health

John (Jack) Lapointe April 11, 1926 – June 3, 2015 We are sad to announce that Jack Lapointe, 89, of Ashcroft died June 3, 2015 with his family at his side. Jack was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba to John Arnold and Theodorus Lapointe. He left High School to enlist with the RCAF in 1943. It was there he received the electronics training that became his career path in life. After his discharge in 1946, he met his true love, Marjorie Lowe in Winnipeg and they married in April 1949. Combining their honeymoon with a move to Vancouver he worked as an Aircraft Radio Technician with CP Air for 15 years. After a brief time as a service station owner, he was offered a job by BC Hydro in Cache Creek. Pulling up stakes in Surrey, he moved his family to Ashcroft where he used his woodworking skills to build the family home where Jack and Marj lived for the next 50 years. A loving husband and father, Jack was a lovely gentle man with a quiet sense of humour and a quick wit. Jack was an avid hunter and fisherman and enjoyed the outdoors all his life. Family holidays were spent at a favourite cabin on Timothy Lake, where wonderful, lasting memories were made. He loved golfing whenever he could and spent many hours on golf courses with his buddies. Computers were also a passion. Jack even built his own computer from scratch. His enthusiasm in turn generated a love of technology in his children and grandchildren who enjoyed many hours of gaming with Grandpa. Jack is survived by his wife and best friend; Marjorie, his four children; Jill Bewza (Gordy) of Chase, Judy Klassen (Ken) of Ashcroft, Joanne Gerein (Dale)of Ashcroft, and Janice Dobson (John) of Salmon Arm. He is also survived by nine grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two nieces. He is predeceased by his parents, one brother; Jerald and a sister-in-law; Lorraine. A private family memorial service was held on Sunday, June 7 in Ashcroft. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the palliative care unit of the Ashcroft Hospital: Family Friends Society, Box 773 Ashcroft (earmark for Palliative Care) or Marjorie Willoughby Snowden hospice house in Kamloops. The Lapointe family wish to extend their deepest appreciation to the nurses and care-aides at both facilities who took such good care of them.

In today’s busy world, some of us have trouble finding time for fitness to extend our life and quality of life. With kids, world, school, volunteering, or just simply relaxing - I’ll admit, some days it’s tough. I did a quick search on Google and looked up what workouts you should do everyday if you only had 5 or 10 minutes per day to workout. These can be done first thing in the morning, during your lunch break, at night before bed, anytime you can squeeze them in. It was funny how all the Google searches basically showed the same exercises in the search, it didn’t matter if you were a runner, a bodybuilder, or just someone looking for a simple set of exercises. It is also funny how I already use the same workout in my weekly core workout, although I add some variations. These are the five simple exercises that should be done by everyone every day, they can be done anywhere with no equipment needed. 1. Squat – this can be done with or without weights, great for people with lower back pain. Strengthens the lower back, hips, legs and core; 2. Push up – awesome for chest, shoulders and arms; 3. Plank – the plank is the number one core exercise, in the old days it was the sit up, which is ac-
tually taboo now as it is hard on your lower back if not done correctly; 4. Bird dog – This is when you go on your hands and knees, lifting your left arm straight out in front of you, while lifting your right leg straight back. Hold for a few seconds. Then you alternate. Great for core, and for all the little stability muscles to keep you balanced. 5. The Bridge – This exercise works your core, hips and glutes (butt). You lay on your back and bring your feet up under your knees, push your hips into the air as high as you can go, then hold for a few seconds. I guarantee if you exercise with these once per day, you will notice a difference. Do each one until you can do any more, for instance, do five pushups today, then try for six tomorrow. Time yourself and see how long it actually takes. Watching an episode of Jeopardy takes half an hour. I bet you can do one complete cycle in the time it takes for the commercial breaks. Three of them you can do while watching Big Bang Theory. As you get used to or bored with these five exercises, there are many variations of each exercise, that can be more challenging. Like squats with some weight, pushups with your feet on the bench, plank with one foot on top of the other, active bird dog, or a single leg bridge.
