John here.
Yesterday was Day 5 of the Hold The Pass Challenge. The challenge was to do 600 crunches while squeezing the tennis ball between your knees. A couple of things I figured out while doing this challenge.
First off, my core is extremely weak, almost non-existant. I had gall bladder surgery earlier this year and I haven’t done any exercises to strengthen my core. I realized that after my first crunch attempt. I went as high as I could go to get the challenge done.
Second thing, I should have spread the attempts throughout the day instead of waiting until I got home to do the 600 reps. As I’m typing this, I’m a bit sore but after each 100 or so reps, I would stop to stretch so I believe the stretching has helped with me not being as sore as I thought.
I don’t have any pictures for this one. I forgot to take some. I will have some for the Day 6 challenge, which is burn 600 calories during cardio.
I’m outta here.
