Suggestions - Excellent Core DVD?

Dawn Cass

Hello all,   I am on the injury list at the moment...no running or cycling due to due hamstring injury.  Physio says I need to work on my core (although admits it's already very strong).  She gave me exercises...and I know all of them due to years of core.  In general, I just get BORED doing them.  I find it tedious and "feels" like I am not getting anything from the "workout"...would much rather be hammering out a good run or cycle.

Anyway....reason for the post.  Have been thinking if I had a challenging/fun/interesting DVD for core I could do at home it would actually help me focus and do a full workout.

Any suggestions?

Beachbody.com has several dvd series - they probably have some core too

kettlebells will fix that. recommend the russian kettle bell ones: cheesy (really cheesy) but they teach good form and they definitely work. It's fun, too--a good substitute for running. If you do it right, you'll be winded in no time.

Have you looked at the info and videos available here? : http://members.endurancenation.us/Resources/Wiki/tabid/91/Default.aspx?topic=Strength+&+Core+Central

I have used the book "holistic strength training for triathletes" for the past year - available from amazon or as a pdf from the author's website (money is donated to leukemia society).

I thought I had a strong core until I tried doing some of these exercises.  Now I think my core strength is much better and I believe it has made a big difference in my triathlon performance.
