September 11- Core Training Station Day

Today's class was different from the usual routine. Instead of doing workouts as a class we split up into pairs and traveled to different stations that targeted different parts of the body. I started at station 8 which focused on lower abs. We started off with scissor legs and walking scissors which I thought were the hardest out of all the exercises. I feel my lower abs really working and I like that because I know I'm doing it correctly and I know I'll see results in the strength of my lower abs. We followed scissor legs with leg raises and flutters which were a little easier for me. Then we did push out crunches. That was hard because we had to do 10 sets of 20. After awhile it really started to burn but the good thing was that because we were doing it in smaller groups we could pace ourselves to a rhythm that was appropriate for us. We finished our lower ab work out with L ups. Then we moved onto station 9 which worked on the butt. This station was very hard because it consisted of lots of lunges and squats. My legs were definitely burning. I liked this station because fire hydrant leg lifts and kicks are some of my favorite exercises. I feel like you can really feel those muscles working when you do these work outs. The last station I got to was station 1: supermans. I like doing supermans because you feel it throughout your abs and legs so I feel like it's a good workout to target multiple parts of the body. Today was good because I had to force myself to keep doing the exercises without the help of a teacher. I liked the stations but I also really like doing things as a whole class and look forward to doing that next class.
