Tuesday 12/12/2017. 
Today was a bit different in terms of core work.  At Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class, we did a round robin abdominal circuit.  There were about 25 people in class each choosing an ab exercise for the group. 
About 30 reps each exercise times 25 people taking around 15-20 minutes?  Not really sure as I didn't actually time it.  That was my core work for the week.

Sunday 12/03/2017. 

Warmup - Flutter kicks:

3 sets of 30.  Lift my feet off the ground and kick them up and down. 

Plank twists side to side:

3 sets of 30 seconds each.


Side Planks:

2 sets on each side for 45 seconds each.  Still don't like these.  I have somehow injured/strained my shoulder and doing these is causing additional pain.  So I stopped after the 2nd set and did 1 set on each side of side crunches.  I will be replacing planks with side crunches for a few weeks to give my shoulder some additional rest time.  Can't say I'll miss the side planks because I won't!

Side Crunches:

1 set each side for 45 seconds.  I tried lifting my feet up off the ground as well in order to try to get more contraction.


Hamstring Stretch:

3 sets for 1 minute each.

Plank. 

3 sets for 90 seconds each.  All 3 sets were from the elbows. 


Figure Four Stretch: 

3 Sets each leg 60 second hold


Hamstring door stretch 

3 sets of 1 minute stretch each leg.  Total of 3 minutes stretching per leg. 

Also while doing the hamstring door stretch I did a neck exercise. I lifted my head off the ground and turned my chin side to side shoulder to shoulder for 1 minute.  For the 2nd set I bring my head straight up and down.  3rd set I make a circle. 

3 sets of 1 minute each. 

Bridges with pelvic tilt hold.  3 sets of 35 reps where I press my low back into the table I hold the pelvic tilt and bridge lifting my hips off the table.    

Pelvic tilts:  

 

While lying on the floor I did a 5 minute pelvic tilt hold.  Occasionally I would relax back to normal for a seconds and then go back to the tilt hold.  This was for 5 minutes.   


Hamstring Stretch:

1 set for 2 minutes.

Today's time - 46 minutes.

Still have some kids that are ill this week and I almost skipped tonight.  I decided to push thru it so I wouldn't miss two weeks in a row.  With that said, I was too tired to change up the workout this week like I had hoped so I did the same one from earlier this month.  Still better then nothing!

3 sets of 30 seconds each.   

Hip ups

3 sets of 30 reps.  Lift my hips up into air no twist this time.

Physical Activity - Spondylolisthesis BJJ

This week I did not do any specific Spondylolisthesis / core work.  Between taking kids to the doctor and a host of other things I just failed to get it done.  My fault.  I did do other activity this week including doing Two 30 minute walks each day of the work week (Mon-Friday).  I also went to the gym and did weight training twice this week and also taught class on Wednesday and got a few rolls in.

Monday 11/06/2017.

1 hour Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class.  After class was core work at home.  I had planned to mix it up this week and change out the core exercises but after class I was just too tired when I got home.  So I only changed the first exercise.  The rest was the same as last week.
