This is my attempt at drawing out the flamingo.

Haha.

tried that Flamingo exercise... Ouch!  If I haven't lost my Love Handles after that, I don't think anything will work

You keep doing 20 - 30 minutes a day and you will have abs of steel and nothing like a love handle anywhere! I would end up not being able to move the next day!

I am going to try the flamingo today for variety. Thanks Doc!

Haha. I'm glad the flamingo makes sense.

Here is another: The Dead Bug

Man this challenge is testing my ability to use paint and forcing me to go into my box of tricks. Its a good thing I have about 10 yrs of swimming dryland core experience to pull from

30 min core dircuit today.

SO excited....my work gym just brought in kettle bells in 8 to 35 lb range!!  That's gonna be FUN!!

15 min core last night on TRX  followed by 15 min on indo board watching shark week on discovery last night.  Kat says balance work counts as core training...

Thanks Melindy!  I'll definitely try these.  I'm thinking I'll work through that 200 SitUp program but was needing to get creative for stuff in between.  This helps a lot!

I'm probably the last one to figure this out but just in case, I just found "Core Training" in the Sports tracking section of the training log.  Will help me separate it from the Strength training.  

Nope, not the last   Thanks for pointing that out, that will help organize my log ALOT!

You can add them under "strength" training, too - there's drop-down menus for abs, back, biceps, chest, core, etc.  Then the next drop down menu (for core, anyway), includes pretty much any core exercise you could think of.  (and probably a few you've never heard of, too!)  It's a nice way to keep track of reps, especially. 

And if you tend to do the same exercises each night, there's an option to "save to template".  So once you've entered your workout, click on that button and you'll only have to enter the whole group as one.  So it takes a little time for the first entry, but after that, it's a breeze!

Played with the kettlebells for my core today!  WOWSA!! Hard stuff!

logged 30 min core work last night.  I'll probably continue to do at least 5 min core everyday even after this challenge.  My back has been feeling better doing so. 

HA! I just discovered the spread sheet we are supposed to be updating.  I guess it would help if I read ALL the post regarding this challenge.  We look pretty consistant! 

Way to go team!

Hey!  Team Washboards have been in the lead since Day One.  Are we going to continue to let that happen??  C'mon team!! 

Done my core for the day!

We have one person who hasn't used the spreadsheet.  Let me check their logs.....they may not know to use both.....in general, challenge rules allow us to send a gentle PM or inspire but PM is better.  If there is no response after week 2 we talk to Kathrin.  Happens frequently with the challenges to have folks sign up then forget to do it.

got my core work in for today.. TRX surf stronger workout.  Was not in the mood to "work"  so I needed to do something fun and the indo board was not cutting it.

you people doing 30 minutes of core work just awe me. I am chugging along with the 10 minutes.

Still getting my core work in.....rough couple days! 

Got my core in today. I just wanna sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

I missed a day. I was at the hospital with a friend in the ER and was whooped when I got home. Sorry folks. I'll try to do better.

Hey gang! Still at it...but is sure has been a challenge!

Standings after the first week:

1. Washboard 21.94%
2. No More Love Handles 18.06%
3. Six Packs 13.23%

Good job everyone. Keep on working on your core and inspiring your team mates that need a little push.

Speaking of which. We do have a couple of challenge participants, that have yet to log their first workout. I sent them the message below today as a PM.

Hello,

This is a friendly reminder that you signed up for the August Core Challenge, but so far, you haven't logged any workouts in the spreadsheet.

Please log your workouts by tomorrow night or I will take you out of the challenge to keep things fair for the teams.

Thanks,

Kathrin
