Fun Core Training is Back! You may have noticed that I haven’t posted for a few days. Thirteen to be exact. Unfortunately I have had technical difficulties – as in my Hard Drive died thanks to the Christchurch earthquakes. The good news is that I do back up my computer, and my awesome team...
Day 10 was a nice, warm summery day. I decided that the best form of exercise would be a walk around the neighbourhood. It’s rather fun going past people’s houses, and hearing the day to day noises of life! Especially after the tough times we’ve been having in Christchurch. On a summer’s evening, people...
Yesterday I mentioned I’d tell you about another side effect of exercise that I’ve experienced. But first, a quick run down of today’s routine. I decided to repeat the Gyroboard beginner’s workout for a third day. So I did. However today I was finding the exercises easier to do, so I added more reps...
Day 8 arrived and I have decided to repeat the Gyroboard Beginner’s Workout routine that was designed for me by a personal trainer. Things seemed a little easier today, which is pretty good considering this is only day two of the routine! Since February 22, 2011 I have had a set of dumbell weights...
Day 7 is here, and the Gyroboard is set up in the living room. This is a fun core training tool that tests your core strength, balance, proprioception and stability. Personally, I can’t think of anything better to train on to prepare people for the Christchurch earthquakes! Even better, it was invented right here...
Yes, I know I said I was going to do a workout on the Gyroboard on Day 6, however, this didn’t happen! Instead I did a Friday night Northlands Mall Crawl. For me, a Mall Crawl involves walking as fast as possible from one end of the mall to the other, and back again,...
Okay, so I’m not really doing proper core training yet. I’m easing in gently to the exercise thing! Since August I’ve pretty much been sitting at the computer for most of my waking hours, so being active at this point is an improvement! I do plan to get on the Gyroboard tomorrow, which means...
After yesterday’s Christchurch Quake Swarm causing sleep deprivation, lethargy and trauma, I managed to get a good night’s sleep. I do think my 30 minute walk around Nunweek Park helped. It eased some tension and managed to get me through the rest of the day without an emotional breakdown. So what to do for...
Hard to believe that on Day 2 of my New Year Resolution my commitment is already tested. After a night that was interrupted with swarms of Christchurch Earthquakes, the last thing I felt like doing was exercise. Like many of the citizens of my city, I am sleep deprived, and my emotional and mental...
I started this Fun Core Training blog back in early 2011, full of hope for the year ahead after a 7.1 magnitude earthquake had woken my province (Canterbury, New Zealand) up at 4:35am on 4 September 2010. We’d spent the following months in shock, and by early February 2011, I was starting to feel...
