I took a day off from running today since I have a race tomorrow. It’s a low-key 10 miler hosted by my running club. I’m not planning on racing all that hard, but my knees have been a little cranky lately.
The day off was a good thing!
I couldn’t, however, take a day off from the Core Challenge. Had to get this week’s second workout in!

This time, I took to the Internet to come up with a new workout. I found a few quick core videos on SparkPeople. I started with a 15-Minute Abs Workout which was pretty good. Once I started I learned I was a bit sore from my first workout but I still wanted to keep going.
I followed that up with a 5-Minute Beginner Ab Workout with Ball — I was glad to put my neglected stability ball to use. I finished with a 5-Minute Core Workout with Ball.
Both ball workouts were pretty fun. I’m definitely going to use it more often!
Sounds like a good workout, I’ve never used one of the stability balls for an ab workout, or any workout actually. Sounds like it was a good workout 🙂
Enjoy the race tomorrow! Or today..depending on when you read this.. I get a bit lost with the time differences!
