100d x 10m = 1 strong core (Page 55)

You challenge junkies are nuts. 

Some days the KISS method just gets me through...

2x 1min each:

straight leg raises, single leg raises bike style, crunch ups w 15lbs, bird dog, side bird dog, squats w 15lbs

You pointed that out on purpose...

Calling Switch!

Good morning all.

Gonna hurt good tomorrow...

I'm a bit skeered to admit the ab wagon and I have long since parted ways.  I have nothing but admiration for all of you that continue to plug away at it.

I have been pretty consistent. It's maybe in a little less tradition core as it's very geared towards running. But yeah, I am still in!

I've been consistent.  Consistency....that's like, my thing   But I also cut my race season off early July so what the heck else do I have better to do all day long than core??  

In all seriousness, I am SO enjoying training just to train and not for specific race goals.  My classes and weight training are getting so much more attention and core is just part of that.  Still S/B/R'ing each week, just cut down on volume and only do speed when the urge strikes me   So that's my overall fitness and not just core check in I guess!

Checking in for Tuesday...

Doubled up again, 20 min

Hehehe!

I've been pretty good lately, but far from perfect.  There will be no catching up for me.  I wonder what kind of punishment I should give myself...

Chris, why don't you just jump back in now.  C'mon, man.

Mike, that looks like a pretty big day.  How ya feelin?

Brad, I think you and caffer are battling it out for the consistency award.  You've been really solid. Nice job.

Noelle, I hear you on the just training to train.  I'm really into what I'm doing right now, but I've definitely been where you are.  I think it's reaaaaally important to know when to not be focused in a race way.  Makes the "on" times much more successful.

I just did my core for today.  The push-up challenge is helping me--kind of a two-for-one deal, as I'm counting those pushes toward core. 

We're in the home stretch and I wanna see some "after" photos people--c'mon!

Of course, you all love this so much that you're going to keep core as a regular part of your routine now, right?  That's what I'm telling myself anyway;)

It is quite around here, that's for sure!

Just got back from a trip to Sedona--which was awesome--and didn't miss a day of core.  I even forced my husband to do all the days with me since we were together the whole trip.

Hope everyone else we haven't heard from is still doing at least a little more core than they usually would, even if it's not every day.

How many days do we have left??

Still at it:

Wed:  2 x 15 pushups, 10 min Ab Ripper Video, 2 x 15 pushups
Thurs:  Plankapalooza (i.e. mostly plank work)
Fri:  90 min Bikram Yoga
Sat:   2 x 20 pushups, 10 min Six Pack Abs Video, 2 x 20 pushups
Sun:  engaged my core drinking beer at the Ravens game
Mon:  90 min Bikram Yoga

My run-focused training has given me a reprieve from those time-sucking workouts known as "the swim" and "the bike", so I have no excuse not to get at least 10 min a day.

Going for a 5K PR October 12th, so I'm trying to drop 5 lbs., too.

Dang, Noelle...you're tough.  Poor guy goes on vacation and gets dragged to the gym to do planks. 

I think I started on about the 2nd day or so, and I think I have at least 70 days in the books.  Now, if I get to count bending my body into a pretzel for 90 minutes as 9, 10-minute sessions, then I'm ahead of schedule.
