I have been out of liftin any weights or doing much of anything core-work-wise for a couple of years now. I feel, both mentally and physically, as though some amount of core-stability stuff might be of benefit to me. I am thinking planks, bridges, rotational types of movements would be good and could benefit my OS (now) and IM (several weeks away) training, at least until the last 8-10 weeks of Race Prep when the volume gets ramped way up.
Anyone have a routine they would like to share, or some exercises?
go to the wiki table of contents, scroll about 1/3rd of the way down, and under the "Core Strength" bullet, you'll see a few things to select from. All good.
