How many times a week are you all doing core? I kind of dropped that a few weeks ago. Only so many hours in the day.
10-15mins first thing in the morning mon-thurs (regular training is after work/weekends), plus whatever i sneak in elsewhere. i've been known to throw down some squats in the washroom at the office for the hell of it.
10mins lets me get in a little loosen-up (circles w/neck, wrists, elbows, arms, shoulders, torso, hips), then 2-4 other exercises for core/strength which i change every day. did Y/T/W/L and pushups this morning, yesterday it was side-lying leg lifts (abduction) , bridges and cobra pose, sometimes i do sun or moon salutations for flexibility, or hip hikes, single-leg calf raises, squats & deadlifts, or walking lunges to try to prevent imbalances. sometimes just a series of front, side, back planks, sometimes i get the resistance band out and do forward, back, and adduct/abduct stuff, sometimes it's core work with a swiss ball or just doing clamshell and fire hydrant exercises on the floor in the livingroom. whatever i feel like when i get up, and seldom do the same thing twice in a week.
cheers!
