Are you soft core? Are you 119 seconds shy of being able to do a 2 minute plank? Are you plagued with injuries to your knees, hips, back? Has anyone suggested that you would benefit from core strength training? This challenge is for you!
After a series of injuries and being told by several medical professionals that that I should work on core strength, I've been making a half-hearted effort since January 1 (resolutions you know) to get my core training act together.
The goal is to find a core strength training program that works for you. Share what you are doing with the rest of us by either posting here or on your blog (and if you post on your blog, please post a link here!).
We will post our goals here, and at the end of each month, we will also share our progress. So, if your goal were a 120 second plank, at the end of each month, you would hold a plank for as long as possible, and share the results here. Your goal might be measured in push ups, sit ups, minutes of training, weight lifted -- whatever you can think of. We wl mostly be competing with ourselves, but if any of us have similar goals, there is nothing like a little spirited rivalry to keep us going.
I've been reading Core Performance by Mark Verstegen. It is a great book, but there are so many exercises, and they are kind of complicated. There are a whole series of "movement preparation" exercises that you should start with, but I'm in such bad shape, I have trouble completing some of them. I need a plan that trains you to be able to do the Core Performance work outs!
