Day 26

I not real sure how to put this so I will say it the best way I know how.  Core Synergistics just kicked my tail!  This was by far the toughest workout so far, maybe it was because the week was a little easier than the other 3, but I did this routine just 2 days ago, and this time it did me in.  I was so sore this morning when I woke up, I had a hard time this morning.  This was the first time that I pushed myself and paid for it the next morning.  I think it was good for me though.  Now, I know that I can do it, just not every time!

Core Synergistics is a complete workout that uses muscles that I normally don't use.  I think that is why I was so sore this morning.  Still I haven't experienced the muscle cramps at night, a direct result of how well my routine is working for me not against me.  I recovered pretty fast today, even though I had to work at Wal-Mart today.  The exercises are awesome though, there were some I couldn't hold the whole time, but I got further than I did the first time. Improvement is what I am after each time I start a workout, I got that today!  I used weights for a little while longer than I did the first time, so again a little improvement.

Here are some of the exercises in this routine!
  • Squat Run- bent into a squat use weights (I used 8lbs) and run in place only with your arms.
  • Lunge & Reach- again I used 8lbs weights, lunge to the floor with both hands on the weight and turn and push the weight to the ceiling. (30 seconds on both sides)
  • Side hip raise- lying on your side rest bottom of forearm on the floor with elbow directly under shoulder, lift your body off the floor with your forearm still on the floor, repeat on other side.
  • Squat X Press- Again with 8lbs weights bend toward the floor with a straight back then press the weight upwards to form a X with the weights above your shoulders in a standing position.
  • Plank to Chaturanga run- In a push up position run with your legs only keeping your butt a flat as possible, then lower like a push up keeping your body off the floor and run with your legs again.
  • Lunge kickback curl press- start in standing position lunge to one side (again with 8lbs weights) hold weights up by ears and kickback keeping you elbows as steady as possible, bring weights back to your side while still in a lunge straighten your back or sit up and curl the weight, then press the weight to the sky, then reverse the curl and stand up straight and then repeat the other side. (Very Hard)
Those are just a few of the different exercises, this workout is a complete workout that will challenge you to the limits.  I am looking forward to Yoga tomorrow, I need the stretch so bad.

Until next time,
Kevin
