Latin week!!! Lots of hips swinging and core action! This week, our primary focus was core training. I always try to incorporate core training into all of the workouts as it is the center of our bodies and everything works around the center. It is important to have a strong core to keep the rest of your body strong. It also helps eliminate a lot of injuries if your core is strong.

Some of the exercises we did were mountain climbers, woodchops, and core rotations in addition to getting the cast up to running on the treadmill. They are starting to get their bodies in shape and it's time to start pushing the speed up on the treadmill. When you are on the treadmill, you should work on getting up to a running speed, and please, if you are walking, NO HOLDING ON!!! As soon as you hold on, it takes out the stability and core work you are doing.

We also worked on pushing and pulling in an unstable environment, ie. doing a one-armed row on one foot. This is a great way to challenge your internal stabilization.
