Next I did Planks

I break it up into 8 second sections. regular straight plank for 8secs, then just lean your hips out to the left for 8, then back tot the middle for 8, then to the right for another 8.

now, lift one leg for 8 seconds...

and then the other for 8, then back to regular for 8. collapse.

these side plank things are harder than they look.

start on your side, with your elbow on the matt.

then lift your top leg to make an X

now , dip your hips to the mat in between:

I can do like 6 or 7 on each side.

lumberjim · 09-06-2009, 11:32 PM

now for the pelvic thrusts....

start lying on your back with one leg bent, and one straight up. pick a point on the ceiling and keep your foot there for the entire exercise

now thrust your hips up, clenching your butt cheeks as you go up...

up and down a bunch of times, change legs, etc.

sometimes we do these bridge things, where you get on all 4s, and lift opposite leg/arm and stretch it out. sometimes we use a rubber hose thing with handles to add resistance.

lumberjim · 09-06-2009, 11:51 PM

these crunches are a motherfucker:

you... again....lie on your back and hold this medicine ball out over your head, while keeping your feet 6 inches up off the ground...

then crunch up, and bring the ball over your head ro meet your knee:

if you're a flexible showoff like someone i know
you can keep that lifting leg straight the whole time

yeah...7 or 8 of those one each side X 3 sets will fix your ass right up.

I did it again today. I'm weird.

Tomorrow it's a 57 km run with some people from the running club.

I got a free week long trial of yoga classes today. Lets try this out.

jinx · 09-22-2009, 07:02 PM

So I'm feeling a little better today and decide to really brutalize myself at the gym to make up for missing a couple days with this stinking ear infection. I'm doing my strength stuff; pull ups, dips, lower back/glut extensions, various crunches, some arm stuff... a
About an hour into it, when I'm thinking it's about time to get on the treadmill, my trainer comes over and asks if I want to do some speed and agility training with a WC university lacross and basketball player. For some reason I agreed. Holy shitballs.

Yes, my ass is entirely kicked - BUT I'm a 37 year old housewife ffs, and I kept up with a scholarshipped athlete. Doing mirror training stuff (she had to do what I was doing) and she.was.out.of.breath.

Go me.

Absolutely awesome. I find myself to be the breathless one when watching female athletes.
