That's more or less what my number 4 exercise does. Better for your back if you do it with bent knees and back straight/flat as possible

Better for your back, but much easier with bent knees--not as much leverage.

Thanks for the list. I've done most of those from time to time, just not regularly. I need to.

I'm not in the best shape, but it's not that bad.

Yes. I am gathering my winter gear, including booties and mittens.

The only bummer is I just noticed my front tire is flat. Some of that grit I picked up on my Sunday ride must have gotten through my trusty GP4000s.

So I landed fairly hard on my head (with helmet) and when walking shortly after I felt mildly nauseated, and then after that until current when walking I feel slightly, ever so slightly, dizzy. Concussion? Should I do anything?

Probably a mild concusssion. Make sure somebody keeps an eye on you over the next couple of days and don't do anything that puts you at risk for a second injury. If any doubt get checked by your physician.

No problem...if you can do this 3 times/week it should help a lot. I generally do it on my "rest/recovery" days.
