Thanks for the comments. If you can hold the position for 30 seconds with no leg lift, then go to the next position and repeat for a total of 4 minutes then you're ready to do the leg lifts.

this is a killer for newbies

This is the best core routine i've been able to find. It's relatively short and you can seriously feel the weakness you've developed in your hips when you are working on your stabilization.

Jay, I agree with beginners these exercises are extremely hard. What I have them do is hold the pedastal position for a set period of time, then do the leg raises on the ground just to hopefully add in some more prep for their graduation into the actual routine.

I have had my team do these... they are killer. My favorite are the back pedastals.
CoachJay
This routine is a killer and much more challenging than the Pedestal routine from the NikeRunning.com video series.

Obviously you can and should simply hold these positions before you attempt the leg raises, yet the leg raises are definitely realistic after 2-3 weeks of doing this work 3-4 days a week.

I look forward to your comments!
