Day 2

Today we covered a wide variety of exercises and muscles groups in class. The class started with a warm-up jog around the room, that I sat out from because of my ankle, and a bit of warm-up stretches. Next we grabbed out mats and did routines to strengthen our hips, backs, shoulders, lower abs, side abs, butts and probably more that I am already forgetting. Some of these routines included side planks, leg raises, supermans, donkey kicks, basic crunches, cherry pickers etc. I found that I was still sore from Tuesday and that the side planks and pushup cycle were the most challenging today.

Day 1

Yesterday was the first day of my phys. ed. core training course. After going through icebreakers and introductions, we began the workout. First, the class ran a warm up around the room (I sat out due to an ankle sprain). Next we went through a plank rotation that included forward and sides planks with both static and dynamic positions. Last, we finished the class with a push-up cycle. In this routine, we began with 8 push-ups and one hand reach and progressively did less pushups while increasing the number of times we raised our hands in the air. I found it very difficult and did modified push-ups in order to finish the whole set.
