May Core Strengthening Challenge (Page 3)

Meant to post this earlier this week, when it was still May, but we're on deadline at work, and there wasn't much time for BT. 

So... how'd everyone do? 

I'm happy to say I did what I set out to do:

2x weekly core streghtening sessions including...
- 3 x 10/15 crunches
- 3 x 20/30 twisting crunches (alternating sides)
- 3 x 10 1/4 sit ups 
- 3 x 10 side raises (left and right)
- 3 x 10 6" leg raises

I feel like I've set up a good habit of working my core on the same days I work my legs, which is what I set out to do. 

I can also tell that I'm getting stronger.  At first, I wasn't able to do the 6" leg raises very well at all, with little or no control.  But, this last week, I was amazed at how easily I was able to raise my legs up, control how high, hold them there for a beat or two, and the lower them down in a controlled manner.  Next step, get to the point where I don't need the rolled towel to support my lower back!

My next goal is to explore different core exercises and see how many I can incorporate into my workout, and go from there.
