Get a Strong Core!
Last Friday, I started the “Race Day Challenge Series” with a Core challenge. Success? Marie rocked it with over 500 crunches. I did about 320. Since we all need stronger and more defined abs (it’s never enough, is it?) I decided to keep this as an ongoing challenge. This week’s goal: 1000 crunches (turned in before next Thursday, Jan. 28th 11:59PM). I know Marie’s up for it, and I know I am! So join the ab-party(Hah!) and bring in anyone you want! Click the Green Apple to see the updated scores!
Here are a couple reasons why you want a stronger core:
- It just looks great!
- Enhances running performance (better posture, less pressure on the joints, stronger stride, etc.)
- Enhances swimming, biking, and most sports performance
- Helps maintain a good posture (a good posture is always very well perceived by your peers and coworkers!)
- For those trying to lose weight, a tighter midsection decreases the health risks of Diabetes, heart conditions, high blood pressure, etc.
Join in the Core Challenge for the second week, and all you have to do is your best! It is a friendly competition, and YOU are your biggest competitor! So get on the mat and prove to yourself that you can do it!
I know there are a lot more moves out there, then just crunches, so use common sense to count it
