Round 4
Core through the race season and summer should be a challenge. As always, everyone is welcome to participate as much as or as little as you would like.

Rules:
1. 100 reps = 1 point.
2. 1 minute of timed exercises(planks etc.) = 50 reps.
3. Core specific exercises only. Abs, obliques, lower back.
4. Begin May 26 and End July 14 (The 14th counts for total pts).
5. You are NOT out if you miss a day, but the goal is to work the core for 50 straight days.
6. On this thread, we can post our daily or weekly totals and share routines/results. etc.
7. The picture page can be used for those interested in before and after pics.
8. Pushups should be counted separately and should remain in their own category.
50 pushups = 1 point.
9. Determine the added worth of certain exercises and give yourself the extra points.
Ex. Reverse roman chair leg raises might be worth double. So 50 = 1 point.
This is not a competition, it is for personal improvement, so this won't be a problem.

Good luck.

none last night.
I went to my girls' last swim meet and was exhausted....oh, and also, my sweet little red headed boy who's four, was hanging on me all evening. At one point, he came up to me and started squeezing the skin on my tummy (I swear it's hard as a rock under there). I said, "Please stop doing that." He said (with NO remorse at all), "But I like it. It's like play-doh."
WAAAAAAA!!!!!!! okay, 4 kids in 4 years = extra skin. Not a ton, but I won't be wearing a bikini ever again :(

Camp Mommy kicked my butt yesterday. Outside in 100+ temp. for most of the day. I was in bed at 7:30- no core points :(
We're going ice skating today, so maybe I'll have enough in me to get back down on the floor for a few 100

Warrior! Sorry we didn't get to meetup, but that was such an amazing race right? it was blazing hot yet everyone was just trucking through. I was watching pretty much at the start through the finish (sorry I couldn't call--my phone was broken). Anyway! Rock on all of you! stick with it--i'm going to jump in late (as in Now), but i'll keep it going after.

Good Core-ing !
