WOD: Core 2

Progress

10/4/20 – High. Boat hold 25 seconds. I say boat hold, but I don’t know if it counted. My form was quite poor; I could barely extend my arms beyond my head. On another note, the Russian twists are getting more manageable. It used to be a struggle to keep my legs off the floor. Again, I found this workout harder on my arms than my core – specifically moves 2 to 4.

This is part of a series of WODs (workout of the day) that I have been receiving from a WhatsApp fitness group I joined to help me keep active during MCO. I’m keeping a record of the workouts here so I can keep a record of how I’m doing. You can find the rest of these WODs here.
