- What's up triathlon trainiacs? Triathalon Taren here
with your weekly Speedy Saturday triathlon training tip.
Today, we're going to give you six ways that you
can incorporate a little bit of core training
throughout your day. It's not gonna take you
any more time, plus, you will get the benefit
of looking really cool as you go throughout the day.
Trust me. You're gonna wanna know about this.
So the first tip is to:
Stand on one leg as you're flossing and brushing your teeth.
In addition to getting foot, ankle, knee stability,
you will be developing the foot dexterity
to change the channel without getting up.
(lighthearted music)
Binge watch away.
Number two is to crouch down while you're waiting for:
toast to toast, tea to heat up, microwave to microwave.
Just crouching down a few times a day
for two-to-three minutes at a time.
It's gonna stretch out your lower back,
it's gonna stretch out your hips,
it's gonna stretch out your ankles.
So you wanna get down nice and low,
we're talking butt to heels.
Not to be confused with strutting to meals.
Number three: Get yourself a box, a whole bunch of books,
something to raise up your computer monitor or your laptop,
and stand at a desk.
(♪ I got this feeling inside my bones,
♪ it goes electric baby when I turn it on...) ♪
Trust me. This is going to be really, really good
for all your obliques here, your lower back.
Stand up nice and straight. Activate those glute muscles.
Stand up tall, tilt your pelvis a little bit.
In addition to working on your core, while you're working,
you aren't going to look very different and have people
look at you funny for any more than, like, I don't know,
three-four years until it actually catches on.
(lighthearted music)
What? You've never seen anybody
work at a standing desk before?
Fourth thing, if you're sitting down at a desk,
take a few moments throughout the day to press your feet
down into the floor and hold it, while also tensing up
the muscles and kinda activating the really low abdominals.
You wanna be pressing really, really hard into the floor,
so much that your legs are almost shaking.
(grunting)
Hold it for a couple minutes.
Just stop a couple of points
short of ah...(farts)
Fifth thing, just incorporating into your running program,
making sure that you do a little bit of trail work
instead of just going out on cement
and sidewalks constantly, go out, do some trail work
on different terrains, different surfaces.
It's gonna get that side-to-side lateral movement going,
activating the side muscles, the side glutes,
all that nice side-to-side work, so you're gonna be
working on your core, you're gonna be working on your
stability, and in the right circumstances,
throughout the season, you'll be building up
a tolerance for malaria.
Agh!
Killing myself here for you guys.
Agh.
And sixth and final way that you can just incorporate
a fair bit of core strength and flexibility activation
movement without adding any time to just changing up
your daily routine in your training a little bit,
do really low heavy gear-work on the bike,
paired with really high high-cadence work on the bike.
And what this is going to do is it's gonna teach your core
to have to stay stable and work really hard
and activate itself while you're on the bike.
Ah, I don't really have any catchy thing to say about this.
But I'll let you know that I am in protest of wearing shirts
when I work out until I have a shirt sponsor.
So! If you want that shirt sponsor, we will consider
the comments below a petition.
If you want us to start editing out nipples,

- Free the nipple.
- Free the nipple! That's what I say. I like it.
