Hi. So I am in the Police Academy and have to meet certain criteria for the physical test. We have to do 33 pushups in one minute. I can do 32 right now, but can not push out the last one! I know I need to work on my upper body strength. Any suggestions or routines would greatly be appreciated. Thanks!

Besides being located at the centermost region of your body, there is another reason why your core is called by that name. The muscles that make up your core are responsible for distributing energy, weight, and movement throughout your upper and lower torsos. Your core also ensures that the other muscle groups in your body cooperate with one another during exertion. Without it, you lack the support structure needed to give you balance, flexibility, and the strength needed to carry your body weight. Outside of serving as a foundation, the core is also responsible for making sure certain bodily functions continue to work normally. That means your core muscles help with blood circulation, digestion, etc. They also make sure that your organs stay in place when you are moving. It can be easy to take for granted how your body moves exactly how you want it to without pain or inconvenience. Making sure that your core is well-built can make all the difference as you do physical tasks in your daily life. The core is included in most fitness programs since you need to evenly bulk up all the muscles in your body. However, there are times you may want to focus your attention on just your core. A popular reason for working on your core is to get firm and impressive looking abs. Besides showing off how muscular you are, it is proof that you put in a lot of effort to get your body in shape.

I've run 8 marathons. My ninth was supposed to be the Santa Cruz Surfer's Path marathon. Unfortunately, I overtrained and seriously injured my knee. Then I managed to break my sternum. So I've been in Physical Therapy for a couple of months and am using C25K to get back into running. I'm going to start training soon for the New York City Marathon in November!

After careful consideration, I’ve decided to train for and run my first marathon. The Portland Marathon is in October. I’ve decided to use the C25K program as my “conditioning” and then I’ll start my Marathon training after that 8 week program is up. This is the biggest goal I’ve ever set for myself. I’m nervous. I’m scared. But above it all, I’m excited about the journey. I don’t have a time goal, just a “finish it” goal❤️

Hi, I just had a baby 11 weeks ago. My husband signed us up for a 5k in October so here I am! I was in great shape and very active pre-pregnancy and always wanted to run a 5k but never got around to it. Running more than a mile was always boring for me. Now that I'm postpartum, and trying to lose baby weight and get back in shape, I've finally got the motivation I need to get this goal complete!

I haven't started training yet, having trouble staying dedicated and completing anything, but I was wondering if you could do any type of training on an elliptical. I have one in my house so I might be a little more motivated to get on that at times then getting dressed in warmer clothes to go outside. Just wondering if anyone could help.

Hey there! My name's Tyler and I'm a trans guy, working to get in shape for DCI (Drum Corps International) and the upcoming WGI season. I was a runner awhile back but fell off the pattern when the marching band season (12 hour days and then once school started 3+ hour rehersals) began, so I'm excited to pick back up! Drum corps is my main reason for running, because you have to be insanely in shape and even if I'm not auditioning this year it's good to get started! Feel free to ask me anything or talk about DCI and WGI with me!

i have completed the C25K training and my first 5k is in 2 1/2 weeks. I have a 2 part question. 1. What should my plan be to gear up for a race? Just keep running 3 mi on say Mon, Wed, Fri. or Tuesday Thursday. 2. What should my plan be after that? Same thing? Mon, wed, fri or Tuesday , Thursday or maybe the 10k trainer, knowing that 5k would be easier if I could run further? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. God Bless!
