Dear readers:  I do believe the think method has achieved positive results.  You remember the think method from THE MUSIC MAN--you think the minuet, you sing the minuet, you play the minuet.  Similarly, you think about the excitement of key nether neurons, you will the excitement of key nether neurons, you feel the excitement, you then engage in a private act where you achieve a satisfactory climax.  Is the proximate cause exercise?  Cognition?  Desire?  Need to test on larger numbers.  

As for planking and the pannicula, that lasted a week.  Face it--planking really sucks the big one!  It is excruciating physically and excruciatingly boring mentally. It is the cooked spinach of exercises.  So instead, during my shower, I forcefully massage my abdominal muscles in an upward motion.  Twice a day.  I do believe there is more definition, but again, need to test on larger numbers.

To help the forcefulness of the exercise, I bought a standard rolling pin.  Oh, how Groddeckian.  But, controllable.  I will get the better of my pannicula.  Continuous self-improvement.
