September 25th -- Core Training Class -- Crunches (with and without resistance band), Side Steps (with and without resistance band), Forward Steps (with and without resistance band), Arm Lifts (kneeling on resistance band), Leg Push-outs (with resistance band around foot), Jogging, Planks (forward and to both sides), Plank Dips (forward and to both sides), Push-ups, and various other exercises working primarily the lower body.
(Today's class was less difficult than the previous classes. Besides the planks, which still give me some difficulty, I was able to complete all of the exercises without feeling worn-down, sore, or exhausted. Further, the resistance band exercises left me feeling refreshed by the class's end.
I have noticed that my lower body is becoming stronger. I no longer feel sore or tired walking around Grounds or walking up steps, as was the case before I began Core Training. Now, I'm able to walk all day and climb flights of steps without feeling exhausted.
My upper body still needs some work. The planks today were specifically difficult, and I'd like to become strong enough to complete regular push-ups, instead of the modified version that I currently do.
Overall, I am pleased with the progress that my body seems to be making, and I'm looking forward to next class to continue improving.)
