Nice set Noelle.  Those of you looking for extra challenge make a figure wight with your hands and feet on Teaser...and embrace the pain.

Okay, I'm trying to picture what you mean by this and coming up with nothing.....can you video yourself doing it and post it to youtube??   Because when you say embrace the pain you have piqued my interest!!

Desoto Carrera for training, Desoto Forza for races (and some training).  They even stand up to a decent amount of pool training if you rinse them immediately.  SwimOutlet has the Carreras for $50 including shipping, which is a pretty good deal.  My Forza shorts are about 3 years old and I still use them regularly as biking shorts for my brick workouts.

As for shirts...hmmm.  Pool, none.  Cycling, some tech shirt or a kit.  Running, whatever is lying around the room.  Racing, my tri club top.

I've never tried a one piece...I guess from my experience trying to get clothes to fit it would not be a pleasant experience.

There are four modifications to the Teaser exercise--the figure eights version being the most difficult of the four.   From the V position, take your hands and arms (maintaining shoulder distance apart) to the right while you simultaneously take your legs and feet to the left, come back to center, then reverse--so your hands and feet are drawing separate figure eights--opposite sides of the body--at the same time.

Here's a version of it--with circles instead of figure eights http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SFY9rmhPog.  Figure eights will be more challenging as there is more movement and therefore more stability challenge. 

I usually put this move in about 40 minutes through an hour long class.  It's, um, nice.

Same class would also have 100 push ups, in addition to the regular pilates work.  It wasn't for your average latte sippin piyo beotch

Originally posted by kgoreI know its not a typical 10 minute ab workout (not just cause it was 30 minutes rather than the 10), but I did some pretty severe Belly Dancing today...yeah, that gets the abs for sure.

...well if you wanna get technical, I was also one belt away from a black belt in Shotokan Karate some years ago AND I can do some mean cross-stitching. Now you may be impressed.

I love it and will be trying it....for me only though.  Half my class already has to take the basic teaser modification down a level with feet onto the floor.  This would just pizz them off

It can be a struggle finding exercises for a multi-level class but I do love teaser just because anyone can do at least one of the options.

Damn, you're too far away Switch.  I would so pay you for private pilates lessons.  Core strength I have....core stability?  Major fail!

Originally posted by dsand97 I have been chastised for not providing pictures. My mistake folks also I have been doing my core work, except for the one race day but have been lacking in the logging aspect. Apologies and here is my attempt to start to get right. ETA - Please disregard water drops on mirror, my better half would kill me if she knew I posted a pic with a water stained mirror.

Welcome

You're forgiven.

JFTR, in the BT Guys thread I wasn't trying to insinuate that you needed to report here because you needed core work.  I only meant it as a nudge to post a pic and come post a little banter once in a while.  I sometimes worry that these things don't come across right...

Originally posted by 4agoodlifeI am currently parked outside my daughter's door because she won't stay in her room for nap.... seems a good place/ time to get my 10 min in. Except I can't groan when necessary to get those last few seconds done. :/
