HappyG(rrr) Oct 2011 10:03am, 22 Oct 2011 16,551 posts	0 HappyG(rrr) siouxsie, i'd say same. if i could consistently do what u listed tgere i'd feel was enuf. i found spin worked core too, up out o seat, lean left n right. do you do all that? core is one exercise u can do every day, unlike arms, legs, chest which need rest. also remembrr that core is back as well as front. Runa in 3:15 thread was reminding us of that. do u do 3 classes ev week Siouxsie? congrats on Ab mara time btw! :-)G

Im A Runner Oct 2011 10:17am, 22 Oct 2011 363 posts	0 Im A Runner This sounds great. I've cancelled my gym membership recently so have decided to try and do core work at home. I'm a lazy person when it comes to core work but I know I need to pick it up now, my motivation is I've ran two sub 4 marathons this year without any real core work so with core work I could be better. I the the Core H workout looks good although some of it I may struggle to hold for the full 60 seconds at first. Just a quick question then, I plan on trying to do two sessions, maybe three a week on my non running days, sound good?
Liliaicha Oct 2011 10:42am, 22 Oct 2011 6,049 posts	0 Liliaicha :)G - I was hoping it was going to be more along the lines of "Oi! TT! done you core work yet?" rather than an official pestering type thing
Liliaicha Oct 2011 10:44am, 22 Oct 2011 6,050 posts	0 Liliaicha Just about to go and try that Core H one now. Haven't actually watched the vid all the way through, so most of it will be a surprise! See you in 10 mins.......

Liliaicha Oct 2011 11:14am, 22 Oct 2011 6,051 posts	0 Liliaicha REALLY enjoyed that!! A couple of them I even lasted the full minute! I like the fact that it is timed rather than counting number of reps. The only exercise I didn't like was the "sit ups" one, I always seem to hurt my neck when I try to do sit ups, which is why I prefer crunches. When I do the workout again I would replace the sit ups with hip lifts or more crunches. Go on...... give it a go!!
