The theme for 2008 - Core stability

My theme for the year is 'Core stability'.

Much neglected in all sports, core stability should be everyone's starting point. Your core is basically the bits of your body between your neck and just below your knees.
Get this right and your body should be in really good shape for the rest of your training, as well as helping reduce injuries.

I plan to use two routes to get my core stability up.

1. Strength and conditioning training (Weight training)
2. Yoga

My weight training at the moment is really just squats, with very light weights, but I plan to increase the weights gradually over the year to get to at least body weight. ("you don't get strong using piddly weights" as I was told by our instructor) I'd also like to add a few more lifting techniques. I aim to do 2-3 sessions a week.

As for yoga, I'm going to enlist my resident yogi to coach me through at least two early morning sessions each week.
