The road to recovery from my Fall leg injury is finally over. One of the main points that coach TL had me work on was core strength. Coach TL has a TRX contraption made by a company called Fitness Anywhere. Many days I found myself out in a park hooking the straps of the TRX up to some monkey bars and then doing a full body workout out in the sunshine (or rain). The main benefit I have found when using the TRX is how fast my core strength has increased.
This last Friday I had an experience that showed me how important and how much my core strength has improved. We had snow the other night and I love to run in fresh snow, but after the snow has stuck around a few days and developed into black ice running can be dicey. I hit an unseen patch of ice on a run and in the past I would have gone down. Not this time. My upper body did some America's funniest home video's contortions, but my lower body just rode the ice like I was on a rail. My foot stayed right under my hip just like skiing. Core strength, balance, stability, yea baby. Thanks Coach TL and TRX!!!!
