New Tricks!

Here is why I told you to check the blog out...I have 2 new tricks. They kind of just came to me as I was doing my quick core routine today. Unfortunately, my workout was cut really short because we had a Fitness Team meeting today. I do have some good news for you though, you're still active in our Club Networks! Let's hope it stays that way though, fingers crossed!

Here is my workout today:

Circuit (4x)
KB Situps (yellow) 15x
TRX Pike 10x
TRX Planks or Floor Plank 30 secs. (shoulder was acting up)

My shoulders was really getting tired, but I guess I can see why, there is a ton of shoulder involvement in today's circuit. But still, I don't remember having them becoming that tired before...

Onto the new tricks!

Stability Ball! I know, the TRX is way too low...I will work on that!

Upside Down Kettlebell? Yes please!

Muscle of the Day
Rectus Abdominis

Origin: Pubis
Insertion: Ribs 5-7 and Sternum
Function: Flexion of Lumbar Spine

Other Facts: Even though it is called a 6 pack, it is actually only made of 2 muscles, each separated by a midline of connective tissue called the Linea Alba. The lines going across the muscles to make the sections of the abs is also made of connective tissue. To keep things simple, the contraction can be thought as bring the ribs to the pubis and vice versa. These muscles are a huge influence on posture mainly because the counteract the errector spinae by pulling on the hip in the opposite fashion.



Hope your internets can has fixed!
