Ab Challenge Week #5!
My son Conor at a strongman class.
Hey Guys, we are in week #5 of the Ab Challenge. Only 1 more week to go and you are on your own. Focus on getting ALL the days of working your core in. You are in control of how strong you are! The picture above shows we use our core in everything we do. I am determined NOT to be one of those people that get injured because my core is weak. No way! Challenge yourself, take care of your body, make it stronger and have fun! We are lucky to be able to do this.
Exercise #1: weighted sit ups. This is a little different than what we have done in the past so be sure to watch the video and follow the instructions. Beginners use a 10lb plate, Intermediate use a 20lb plate, Advanced 25-30# plate or dumbbell. As he says in the video on the negative (coming down from sit up) go super slow. ALL LEVELS PERFORM 90 REPETITIONS. Break up the reps as needed.
EXERCISE #2) V-Up . Perform 40 V-Ups. This exercise is advanced, the reps must be broken up for safety. Stay tight and be aggressive when coming up.
EXERCISE #3 Weighted Good Mornings Beginners use a 10-15# bar, Intermediate 20# bar and advanced 35-45# bar. Perform 30 slow and controlled reps.
Exercise #4 Kettlebell cross Chop Perform 15 repetitions per side(30 reps total).
Please let me know if you have any questions or comments!
Peace,
Caitlin
