Master  3870     |  Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core 4 hours sleep, SHORT run, yoga, hour on trainer, son to first gymnastics this summer= no extra core for me today. So Day 9 is in the books with plain yoga. Right now I'm ok with that. |

Regular 980 Caerphilly, Wales, uk. | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core Originally posted by switch Originally posted by Richardsdrr Been having a bit of grief with my left glute of late. Been aching the last few months, at first thought it was my hip flexor. It wasn't hurting much, so I had thought I had pulled a muscle. Because of these core exercises, it has brought it to ,y attention again, aching even more than normal. This is especially true of the superman pose and trying to do the swan/cobra pose when stretching off. I have a feeling this is piriformis syndrome, brought on by me training with a dodgy right foot for the last couple of months. I have started incorporating the "lie on back, knees bent, left ankle resting on right knee, pull right knee in to chest" stretch at the end of my runs and core workout. Just wondered if anyone has anymore. I call this one ^ "figure four stretch" I think it's great too. Do you ever do pidgeon pose? http://video.about.com/yoga/How-to-Maximize-Pigeon-Pose.htm I like it for both the hip opening and the glute stretching. Thanks, just had a go at this and although I'm not a supple as the guy in the video, I think I got into the right position because I could feel the stretch exactly where the ache is. How long should I hold this pose for? |

Yes, I'm Amy! Amy Noelle |
Noelle is the middle name that I always wished was my first. Had I been clever enough as a child I would've had everyone just call me that. Amy is just so vanilla. No offense to any other Amy's!| 2013-07-03 5:50 AM in reply to: noelle1230 |

Yes, I'm Amy! Amy Noelle I was wondering how long it would take before someone asked. We were fellow mentees in another group. I actually go by my middle name, Michael. First name is Joel, and for some reason everyone used my middle name. I have no idea why. I do, however, get called "Joel Michael" by my mom when I'm in trouble. |

| 504 | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core Looking good everyone!! So in my mind, a double session is just a double session, regardless of length. I did 24 minutes x 2 of some pretty intense yoga last night. If I'm wrong about doubles, than that means I did a 4x session according to the Ten Minute/100 Day Challenge. BUT I'm going with my understanding of it. That means I have just one more double to catch up, and then a single to be even (Dare me to do a triple???). HOWEVER... the in-laws come to visit for a whole week today, and that kills my indoor workouts. First tri was awesome on Sunday. I had sooo much fun, but I think that means I didn't go hard enough.  I'll get that pic in as soon as I technically finish week 1. |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core Originally posted by Richardsdrr I try to do at least 20 seconds for all static stretches. I try not to guard (tense) and take the pose a little deeper on the exhale.

Veteran 299 Ferndale | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core Did day two last night... Abs are sore today but I'm liking this!!!! Did each for 1 min 2 sets Push-up with one hand on a Basketball, roll the ball back and forth between push-ups Standard Plank V-abs (too hard to explain, will look for video clip) Alternating knee crunching thing (too hard to explain, will look for video clip) Stability Ball Hand Off: Lay flat on the floor holding a stability ball, bring the arms and legs up together, "hand off" the ball to your feet, go back flat, keep going....

Very nice start, and thank you (curse you!) for posting. THis puts the guys well into the lead Ladies. I resorted to a freakin arm pic to try to keep us in the running. Not sure where to go from here...and, hellz no, I will not be posting any other body parts. Um, Salty, a little help? You could always repost that poutine shot if you don't have an abs shot handy. I would be fine with it having a second home on this thread, and apparently Mike likes fries so... Arm pic dont count! This aint Al Gore math! |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core Originally posted by Teejaay Ima gonna have to bow out of this challenge! Had a recent (like yesterday) goal change! I just can't do it every day with the crossfit and new focus on amping up my olympic lifting that I will be doing. Everyday hitting my core won't jive with my lifting goals. When I take a rest day so I can be fresh for a heavy strength day .. I really need to give me poor poor crying muscles a break all over! I wish all of you success in getting some rockin' abs! I'll check in if only for the photos that get posted .. that's worth the looksy! Good luck!
Hey! You're not allo...fine, ditch your fellow Arizonian for "greener pastures" (no such thing these summer days) and happier muscles. Come in and poke and prod us. Often. Yes, often would be good. |

Master 3870 | Subject: RE: 100d x 10m = 1 strong core Originally posted by switch Originally posted by 4agoodlife Originally posted by switch Nice to be built like that! Yeah, farming/ ranch work is not easy. I think I'm still tired from unloading and stacking hay bales 20 years ago. hehehe Originally posted by 4agoodlife Originally posted by jmhpsu93 With her crop always around, I don't know if he had a choice Originally posted by switch Mr. Switch's starting pic,
Wait, WHAT??? That's the starting pic???? Bravo, Mr. Switch!!!! Way to whip him into shape, Ms. Switch. hehehe
He doesn't train for anything in any capacity. He joins me in these challenges (not the running or TdF, but the handstand one) because we keep each other honest and it's fun. Sometimes he'll join me for yoga or knock out some pulls or pushes, but he's just built like that. That being said, between farming and his job, he is one of the most active people I know. He's a hardworker, my man, even without the crop or whip Are you a farm girl? Jeez, first it was the crops, now it's the bales...we have a lot in common! Farm girl at heart. Grandpa was foreman on a ranch til I was in my 20s. LOTS of time spent there. Had my horse for 23 years. Spent 4 summers working at a "cowboy" camp in Yosemite. I think I've pulled enough weeds, caught crawdads in ditches, moved bales, and mucked out tons of horse pucky to be mostly farm girl. Though I live in a town, I can say with 100% certainty I am NOT a city girl. |
