December 7th, 2009 Workout – Core
Did another core workout – feeling stronger – was able to move up in reps on some of these and it felt easier in general.
Here’s what I did:
Knee Side Roll – 20, 20
Side Crunches – 20, 20
Reverse Side Crunch – 20, 20
Side plank – 10 seconds each side twice (+5 both sets)
genie sit – 10, 10 (+5 1st set)
swiss ball crunches – 20, 20 (+5 both sets)
reverse crunches – 20, 20 (+5 both sets)
swimming on ball – 20, 20 (+5 both sets)
back extensions – 15, 15 (+5 1st set)
I’ll see how the next few go and then will maybe drop the reps but add a third set and then start working my way back up again.
November 24th, 2009 Workout – Core
I did a core workout today and I’m really feeling it! The good thing is that my core still feels really strong – definitely needs some endurance work though so as I keep repeating this workout I’ll be raising the number of reps and sets constantly.
Here’s what I did:
Knee Side Roll – 20, 20
Side Crunches – 20, 20
Reverse Side Crunch – 20, 20
Side plank – 5 seconds each side twice
genie sit – 10, 5
swiss ball crunches – 15, 15
reverse crunches – 15, 15
swimming on ball – 15, 15
back extensions – 10, 15
For each exercise I did slow controlled movements and didn’t use momentum to do any of them. The reverse crunches and back extensions were tough. Hurts now, but I’ll be thankful once I get out boarding.
