the angle I drew it at is pretty drastic though.

not quite. You're moving your hips down, not working your arms.

Think of it like the uneven bars in gymnastics to get a visual.

It's part of our natural motions from when humans were still tree dwellers.

The further back from the wall you place your feet, the lower the angle you do this, the harder, and more effective, it gets.

Don't go past 45 degrees though, You're better off doing it from the ground at that point.

You can do planks against a wall.

Placing your hands on the wall, and your feet as far back as you're comfortable with, slowly dip your hips to the wall wihile keeping your body straight, and then back up again.

This will increase your flexibilty and core strength at the same time.

Not without more context. O.O

Take cute pictures anyway!

Take a sec to be sexy! The stress will be there regardless of how you feel about it.

you are though.

The braid isn't real. I was growing out my hair but it was just too damned hot out for it, I was DYING. so I chopped it all off.

I actually really like it still myself.
