April Challenge

TrainingWithTonya

Below is a challenge I put together for my clients, but thought you all might enjoy it too. Right click the picture and Save As to save it to your computer so you can see the whole image and print it out to make it easier to follow. Anything that is too much for your fitness level, cut down the reps or time. And by all means, skip a day or two if you need to because it doesn't work with your plan. Enjoy!

Just took look at it and I had some questions. I know I've probably done these before but am bad with names.

What are rows? Are ball crunches like a mason twist?

Rows are like you are rowing a boat, pulling back with the arms and squeezing the shoulder blades together. You can do them bent over at the waist with dumbbells or with a resistance band attached at a doorknob or on a table leg.

Ball crunches are just like any other crunch but laying on a stability ball. So you lay with your low back supported on the stability ball and crunch up to lift the shoulder blades up off the ball. If you don't have a stability ball, you can do a basic crunch on the floor.

Edit. What is a 3 point cruch?

3 Point Crunch is a combination of a basic crunch and oblique crunches. Basically, you crunch up to center, twist to each side, then back to center before going back down. So, you go to 3 points (center, right, and left) but you actually do 4 contractions because you do the center twice on each repetition.
