Get Fit For Friday ~ Challenge Accepted!

Happy Friday!!!!

We cannot tell you all how excited we are for the weekend! We are finally in Ithaca for a weekend with no race scheduled! We needed a break from the hectic schedules to catch up and enjoy our town's fall fun! I am doing a TRX training workshop all day tomorrow but have pumpkin carving to look forward to that night! 

We encourage everyone to get outside and get in a great workout before the weekend begins :)

Challenge of the Week:  It's all about your Core!

Today, make an effort to do 10 minutes or more of core work. Pick 5 exercises including one exercise for your obliques, one for your lower back. If you choose holding exercising, hold for at least 30-60 seconds and maybe challenge yourself to hold for even longer! 

 Example: Hold for 60s or do 20 reps, repeat 2-4 times

          - Plank (forearm or hand)

          - Superman
          - Leg lifts
          - Russian Twists
          - Shins Parallel Crunch

Have fun with it and contract your core the whole time!

Challenge Accepted,
