Core Training

Teaching Day #3

Ashley and Jamie did power yoga with us, which was actually kind of hard and had me sweating.

Eliza and Courtney did stuff with the body bars, which were heavier than expected and hurt my shoulders to hold them behind my head.

Claire and Tabir did pilates with us, and we did planks for a very long time, and also alot of new things I had never seen before.

Dancing, which was really awkward and I was really bad at it, but it got my heartrate up.

Core Training: Teaching Day 1

Anthony & I
We did circuits with situps, side planks with leg lifts, bridges with leg lifts, bicycle with arms in the air, and toe touches with bringing your arms down.

Devin & Andrew
Pilates from the 80's workout. We did a lot of arm movements and kept our heartrates up. I learned some things I had never thought of doing before.

Garrett & Scott
Running drills. We did butt-kicks, high-knees, grapevines, jump for height, running backwards, soldier kicks, and sumo squat things. I haven't done those kinds of drills in a while so it loosened up some muscles.

Feb. 14, 2013

Did partner workouts today. Used the stretchy bands and did sets of 25 or so, and then used the medicine ball and did sets of 20. Right upper quad area bothering me quite a bit.

Feb. 12, 2013

Core Training

Did partner things with the medicine ball like throwing, throwing sideways, shuffling, twists with backs to each other, and situps (also using the yoga ball) with maybe 25 each. Left hip flexor kind of hurt.

Feb. 7, 2013

Core Training

Used the medicine balls today. Did squats with pushing out and up (10 each) and threw them down on the ground to a partner (20 times each). Also did RussianTwists with it and a partner where we switched off after 5 for each side and did that for 1 minute 5 times. Left hip flexor kind of hurt after that, but it seems to be okay now.

Core Training

Worked with the stretchy bands today. Did a lot of arm exercises including (with a partner) holding two bands between us and pulling back 10 times, and standing side-by-side and holding a band withour outside hands and pulling out 10 times (3sets). Tried some Russian Twists with the bands, but that worked my arms way more than it did my abs. We did our pushup series with 11 pushups, and I think that may be more than we can handle right now. I was falling apart around 9.

Feb. 3, 2013

Went to the gym and ran 21 laps (2 miles) on the track very slowly (26:09), then did abs.

Feb. 1, 2013

Went to the gym and did 33 minutes on the eliptical (weight loss setting, 5 minute cool down). My head really hurt and I did abs and then went back to my dorm and lifted my weights.
