Unfortunately I got home late from work which destroyed my plans for a swim it was too late to venture out so it was time to get the gym mat out and do some de-stress from work. As I completed the spin class last night I decided to give the turbo a miss and stick with the core workout. Same set for the month: 3 Reps session 3 x 20 sit ups 1 x 20 side sit ups (Each side) 2 x 20 reverse sit ups 10 Gym ball press ups 10 Gym ball knee roll ups The knee roll ups aren't getting any easier!

Core Workouts

Summer is nearly here and I've decided to get some core work in... well summer is only 9 months away but I dot work on my core enough. Its will help with my physique and help with my running so im told so why not give it a try and I need every need bit of help for next triathlon season. For an introduction I decided to kick off with: 3 Reps session 3 x 20 sit ups 1 x 20 side sit ups (Each side) 2 x 20 reverse sit ups 10 Gym ball press ups 10 Gym ball knee roll ups It takes me about 30/40 mins to complete and I got alot of the ideas from bodyrock.tv and there you tube channel. I really enjoy doing the floor work outs and that is an area I always liked at the gym, so I've got plenty of ideas on how to change the sets going forward. I finish the session on the hardest set the knee roll ups with the gym ball... 10 is plenty for me now and it makes me sweat nearly as much as the turbo trainer. Washboard stomach here I come!
