Core Strength Challenge

I added a peanut butter cookie challenge instead.   I do believe that will do something to my core.   If  no-one wants that,  I  say we do core  minutes and sets.

How could we do another challenge w/out getting too serious? 

Ok....just becuase I like to think outside of the box and then totally complicate things....let me throw this out.

*IF* we were all good little BTrs, and followed our plans,etc...and did what we are supposed to do.....we should be doing the CORE sets they outlined for us.  There is CORE set 1, set 2.....all the way up to 6.  It could be a point system for doing these sets.  For example since Set #1 is the "easiest" it would be worth 1 point, and if you did it twice that night, you earned 2 points.  If you did Core workout #2 and did it twice, you would earn 4 points.  Might push us to do more/work harder or try more advanced core work.  Just an idea.

But I am cool with minutes too.

Astrid.....click on here.  It outlines the strength training BT recommends, and then there is Core #1, Core, #2....etc.....  If you click on them, it will take you to a web page that totally outlines and explains them for you.

 Click where?

Also, after my stunning 4th of July workout, I added the 12 oz curls to the core set.

Then on that page you can click on the Core#1, Core #2, etc...... awesome stuff!

There are also all of these: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/index.asp?catid=140

Any combo set of 6 or more of these exercises could be considered a set.

My challenge for Peanut butter cookies eaten is tied for first place.  We may not even have to do core workouts!!

I'd be in for a challenge this month. Strenth training would be good. If you check out my logs for the past year- there is about 10 mins ST total

I'll be back on Monday night and ready to train!

OMG!! Harry likes my convoluted idea?  Are we in some sort of parallel universe? Cool!!!

I think I should get like 20 points for the Total Kicking Class since it has taken me out for like 4 days now!!!!!!!Grrrrrrrrr!

I know this will make her fall off her chair; but I like Tanya's suggestion of set workouts counting as a "set" also.

I hate doing core workouts, and this would prevent me from bending over to take out the trash as a core exercise. (which I would do w/out a twinge of guilt)

Oh! And I also agree with Steve that the start should be after Mountain Man.  People are wanting to concentrate on this race coming up, and this could be a distraction.
