Hard core
Out of the mountains and into the city. Here I am across the road (actually, across the river Seine) from Notre Dame. We arrived in paris from Alp D’Huez, ready to watch Cadel Evans take the yellow jersey that matters most – it was amazing!!
But in amongst the spectating, the celebrating and the touristing, there was still time for a little core training. 30-minute training plans really have their benefits when you’d rather be out and about in a new city!
Body awareness is a big port of core conditioning. Exercises like the plank, in the picture, are a great place to start. Then you can build on this strength with more and more complex exercises. Day 12 is only your second core training plan, so it’s physically challenging, but not too complicated. As long as you always focus on drawing your tummy in, as if you’re pulling your belly-button in and up, you can’t go wrong.
As always… Enjoy the challenge!
