9/13: Core Training Stations Day 2

Today was day two of stations and this time we incorporated exercise balls.This was the first station I started at and I really enjoyed it. I feel like it added a little more difficulty to the exercises because we had to use balance along with the workout. I enjoyed the push out crunches the most because I could really feel the burn in my lower abs doing that since the ball added a little more weight. The push ups were also a little more difficult because it was harder to keep my balance but I like that work out and hope we do it next class.

After the exercise balls we moved on to the superman station. For some reason today I really felt it in my glute and lower thigh region so I was glad to give that area of my body a rest when we moved on to lower abs. Abs are my favorite so I enjoyed that station the most.  Then we moved on to push ups which I was dreading. Push ups are still the hardest for me but I can kind of feel myself getting stronger because they get a little easier each time. I can't wait to see how I feel about them by the end of the semester. We then moved on to planks which definitely tests my endurance but I like that challenge a lot. It hurts but I really want to keep doing it so I can get stronger. We finished with arm circles and holds which I think was a good place to end. I enjoyed stations today; I feel like I got to go to more stations than last class and had a little more drive to keep doing the workouts on my own.
