TRX Core Challenge

Fraser — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 02:03:17 GMT

There's nothing that says "Happy Valentines Day" like a six pack. No guys I'm not talking about beer but that washboard look of lean, athletic sexiness that comes with consistent, quality core work and great nutrition. To help you give yourself and your sweetie a kick start we've devised a core challenge for the month of February that you will be able to work on together. You can track your progress on this forum. To kick things off I'll post my own numbers now and work to see where I end up by the end of the month. I hope to be rendering my washing machine obsolete by Feb 28th!

Exercise                                               Reps

Standing Back Extension                      24

I am definately feeling a difference (positive one) from the consistancy of this core workout. Bought it for the variety and still love it! Tracy

Hey All. Still going strong. Can't believe it's the 21st already.

I just downloaded the "winter conditioning" onto my Ipod. Looks like it's going to be a good one. I'll give it a go tomorrow.... Tracy

Ah, I love starting the day with a workout. Small increases happening - good news! I was able to do 11 of the side planks by touching in front rather than rotating under. Time to try the progression again. Tracy

Still going strong - forgot to post my confirmation yesterday but, yes, I did do the workout. Also today and all is going well. Find the plank ok, but still difficult to do the touch under also. That's my goal by month end! Enjoy the weekend. Tracy
