TWO WEEKS!

STOP THE PRESSES!!  IT HAS BEEN 14 DAYS IN A ROW!!

I cannot believe I have exercised for 2 solid weeks and am already wanting to do tomorrow's work out! I need to strengthen my weak core. My lower back aches a lot and I think that is because of 3 things:

1. My belly is big and the muscles are weak causing my back to overcompensate.
2. I am not keeping my core engaged enough during some yoga poses and my back is having to overcompensate.
3. I have TERRIBLE posture, especially seated at my desk.

So, I looked around for specific exercises to do and found this:

Gaiam's Strong Core & Back Kit

According to the descriptions on Gaiam's site this kit will: 

• Stretch and strengthen your spine
• Alleviate back pain
• Improve your overall midsection
• Strengthen core muscles to prevent injury
• Unique peanut-shape supports the spine and lower legs
• Increase range of motion
• Correct posture and form

YES, PLEASE!

It comes with:

• Anti-Burst CoreFit Ab Ball; free of the most harmful phthalates
• Strong Core & Back Workout DVD
• Bonus Downloadable Back Pain Relief Workout

The two 10-minute workouts include:

• “Core Focus” targets those hard-to-reach places helping you build strength throughout your midsection
• “Strong Core and More” adds more challenge with standing moves requiring greater control and concentration

The Bonus “Back Pain Relief,” delivers a 10-minute stretch routine. (YAY!)

So, I ordered it (on Amazon) and it has already arrived.  I think I will attempt all 30mins tomorrow and see how it goes! I'll let you know!
