Day 64

CORE CUTTER.

Warm up with two large laps.

Get a mat. Full sit ups, set of 30. With legs just hovering above the ground, full sit ups, set of 20. One leg straight out above the ground, the other bed above the ground, crunches, set of 15 then switch legs, another set of 15. Bicycle crunches for 30 seconds. One leg straight out and against the ground, the other leg bent...doing a crunch, bring your left elbow to the right leg (bent), set of 20 and switch legs, another set of 20. Leg lifts, set of 20. Go straight into leg 'flutters' for 30 seconds (legs about six inches above ground, head and shoulders off the ground and kick). Turn to your side, legs straight and together, arm extended (you look like a triangle with the ground) and hold for 30 seconds, switch sides. Repeat for one more set.

Run a short lap, rest one minute and repeat so you get four short laps.

Grab a gym ball. Start with the ball at your mid to lower back, legs at 90 degrees and do full sit ups, set of 30. Lay all the way back, back should be arched around the ball, legs 90 degrees and abs flat as a table, crunches, set of 20. The next crunches are done with your legs bent, then bring your body to your legs as you bring your legs to your body, set of 30. Legs extended off the ground, bring your legs to your body as your bring your body towards your legs, set of 20. Do 15 more again, but this time passing the ball between your feet and your hands (holding ball between your ankles.) Put ball under your stomach, using your hands to get into a pushup position with feet still on the ball, lift your butt in the air a tad (or your back will hurt) and hold for 30 seconds. Repeat for one more full set, except the very last exercise, you are going to be in the pushup position and you will be rolling the ball inward with your feet, as many as you can do in 30 seconds.

End with one long lap.
