Regular  5477    LHOTP |  Subject: 100d x 10m = 1 strong coreIt seems like every tri related thing I've read lately preaches about the core--better rotation and strength in swimming, less fatigue on the bike, more leg drive and connection on the run. It also seems like I have really started to blow off my core specific work since tri season has started. No bueno. The challenge is pretty straight forward. 10 minutes of core work every day for 100 days. Simple. Before and after pics might be fun, heavy emphasis on the "might" :) Log your time in your training log, and try to check in with the group at least once a week. It would certainly be cool to use this thread to share your favorite core exercises, and again pics, links or vids are always nice. Starting on Monday, June 24 and running through Tuesday, October 1st. Who's in? |

I'd post pics but trust me .. nobody wants to see the marshmallow fluff that covers my semi rock hard core! Planks don't do it for me cuz they hurt my hip and low back oddly enough, but I've many other moves that I can partake in and can share with y'all! Yay Teejay! I don't really dig the plank either. Lookin forward to seeing your favorite moves :) |

Master 6834 Englewood, Florida | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core All Right, fine, I'm in. It sure can't hurt to get a bit stronger. And it'll help me focus on a part that is truly lacking. |

Your post to the pod made me think maybe there was some issue I didn't know about, so I didn't want to pressure you, though the bubble wrap/china analogy was pure win!

I had to join when I saw some of the others taking the challenge. I have to at least try, although it will be a bit of work on my part to get to the end. I need all the core help I can get. |

Queen BTich 12411 , | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core Ugh. 10min is a LONG time for every day! Sheesh. I hesitantly say 'in' knowing I probably won't do a strict 10min every day? I don't know. I am also a bigger fan of 'total-body' exercises and not just crunches and such. So, I might be counting some other exercises as part of my core work. I know I can really improve my planks though! But, we'll see. Maybe I'll surprise myself! |

You know your stuff--if you think it can be counted as core, it can be counted as core. 10 minutes is a long time, but two 5 min sessions aren't bad, or some other break down. For the TV watchers, commercial breaks are ~2min, so they could do 5 commercial breaks worth. I'm just pumped that you're in. Sweet, we got Comet. We need to wrap up the handstand challenge! I keep thinking, OK, today I'll shoot some video, and then I have some big training session and I wimp out cause I don't think I can bring my A game. I'm a dork like that. I'm gonna keep doing the handstands though. They're awesome, and I can't believe how much better they got in a month:)

| New user 410 | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core This is timely! I have been thinking I needed to do something for core strength development. Then I did my first spin class last week and I was convinced! All that standing sitting stuff gaaarrrrhhh, need some work! I can do a 30 second plank, it will be nice to see what that increases to in 100 days! Thanks for the challenge Switch! |

Seeing how many seconds you can increase your plank is a great way to measure progress--great idea. I might do that too, even though I don't dig on planks. |
