Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

can i join? i always have good intentions with core training but it soon dwindles away.

normally do a few 'planks' 'supermans', sit-ups, pushups, plus a few light weight reps - but i don't find it very fun - not compared to running anyway....

motivation please...

Well in case you want to sneak to a spare room to try now you lay face down arms out in front and lift arms and legs off floor so basically lying only on torso. As a variation lift opposite arm and leg together then vice versa. Hold for 10 seconds, repeat ....

erm.. hello.

I suppose I'm not unusual in that since I've really gotten into running, I've done next to no core/strengthening work. I used to do Body Pump twice a week and was pretty toned but that was a long time ago. I started BP again recently and whilst my legs are strong, I'm shocked at how weak my upper body is, and my core definitely needs work.

So, I'm intending to keep up the BP once a week, but will also try out some of the stuff in the links up there ^ and see if I can shift this belly ;)
