Using that criteria, then just about everyone here can say they already do this, because swimming, biking, and running all require a solid core.

Master 2855 Kailua, Hawaii | Subject: RE: Do you do core work? (shameless challenge promotion) I do a core workout tues / thurs right now. What I do is a circuit - run to core station #1...do core routine...run to core station #2...do core routine...then run to beach, swim 1/2 mile, and Repeat. I also do it with my hill repeats, turn that into a core - bike circuit. It seems to have really helped over all, and now is an essential component to my training. I didn't take core seriously a few years ago, but now I do. |

I don't do separate specific strength training this time of year when I'm in large race-specific build periods. It's all my body can handle to do the s/b/r training combined with demonstrating exercises to multiple clients every day, so I'm going to pass.

Master 2167 Livonia, MI | Subject: RE: Do you do core work? (shameless challenge promotion) I have been doing at least 5-10 minutes of specified core work every single day for years. No matter what my scheduled work out is for the day or if it's a day off, I take that little bit of time and just do it. It's like an obsession. Keeping a ripped six pack is no easy task but once you have one you kinda never want to let it go (course, I haven't tried the pregnancy thing yet.......) I'm in!!! |

Expert 2098 Ontario Canada | Subject: RE: Do you do core work? (shameless challenge promotion) I used to get in 30 minutes every week of just Core, but now that I have been Kiboshed from running for awhile I subbed 2 of my 3 running days for 2hrs of strength and core training at the gym, its only been a few weeks but I can already start to feel the difference especially as I have been concentrating on swim muscles . |

Bob, get your butt over there and challenge-up. This will be a good group for smack-talk and whatnot. It's totally your speed. Noelle, you're being too kind. If the boys want a six-pack, you best be posten some ab pics. Prekids I had a rockin six pack, and I'm hopeful this might bring it back, but no, sadly, no, tis not there now.

Wait a minute...if I saw your post correctly, the bottom pic was right before you had the baby but your top pick that says day 0 is now, right? Because those are some sick abs sister. Go people, check it for yourselves. |

Go people, check it for yourselves. Yeah, you read the post right. "Day 0" I took yesterday. They used to be (prekids) better, but, as you can see, they also used to be a lot, lot worse/bigger/pregnant/very overweight. Whateves. After 100 days of committed core work, they will be better than "day 0"--I'm sure of that :) Hopefully, my S/B/R will be better because of it too!

If that's your day zero, keep posting pics and your challenge will be the most read in BT history! |

Regular 5477 LHOTP | Subject: RE: Do you do core work? (shameless challenge promotion) "That pic assured me that I wouldn't be posting a before picture. No one wants to see that." I have really enjoyed the comradarie and getting to know the people I have done challenges with. It is a fun way to get/stay motivated and I enjoy learning people's story. If you want to read an incredible one, go check out navbrcrt's in the 30 runs 30 days--his story is AWESOME! Triathlon draws lots of cool people--people with varied athletic backgrounds and fitness history, but most of the time these are people who enjoy a challenge, have often dealt with some demons, and are incredibly goal oriented. I like how BT includes and welcomes athletes of all types. Some of the people I am most inspried by on this site are not the world class athletes, but are the ones who have faced big-time challenges and their journey with triathlon and those challenges. I posted the preggers pic specifically because I wanted people to see that it has been a journey for me too. If I just posted day 0, I could see how that could make someone feel like they couldn't post their pic. But does it really make them feel that way when they see me when I was 65 lbs heavier and with abs probably 5 times the girth they are now? I hope not. That would make me pretty sad, as I really hoped what it would do instead is emphasize the journey :) I know lots of people don't want to post pics, but I still encourage everyone to take them for themselves. As a few have now said, maybe after 100 days, you'll want to post them as a "big reveal"--a journey.

Veteran 287 Tucson | Subject: RE: Do you do core work? (shameless challenge promotion) I may have to get in on this with injury prone azz! I have finally discovered slow and frequent running which seems to be helping. I do strength training which helps also but I imagine daily core would be awsome. Can I just throw in some planks on my days when I don't have strength training scheduled? |
