In this episode of the "Fit Over 40 Challenge Show" I am excited to present to you my very first challenge for you. Today I introduce to you the "6 Days to a Stronger Core Challenge."  I know that with technology and the cultural we live in we have become more prone to sit for long periods of time. Over the years I have had many clients complain to me about back pain and stiffness. One reason is their core is weak. Also, I have had many people come to me asking me how they can get lean and get that "6 pack" ab look. When I tell them it requires doing more than just a ton of ab exercise they are perplexed.  Having a strong core is a two part strategy and in this challenge you will learn what to do to get you started on a stronger and leaner mid section.  For the next six days I will present each day's challenge to you through this podcast but if you would like to get the challenge in written form you can go to http://www.fitover40challenge.com/core  I am looking forward to hearing about the results you get fro
