Come join us for the January Stability Ball Pushup Challenge!!!

If you aren't familiar with Stability Ball Push Ups here's a link that shows some pics! http://www.acefitness.org/getfit/ex...aspx?pageID=285 The further down your legs you set the ball, the tougher they get!
For assistance on what the diameter off your stability ball should be, click on this link http://www.power-systems.com/locker...tyBall-Size.htm

All are welcome!! Just post a goal and report in regularly so we can cheer each other on!

---------------------

Er, I am new. I have no arm strength. What would be a good goal for me?

Count me in, but I won't have my ball until day after tomorrow! I'm not sure what to make for my goal until I try it out. I have a movement disorder and I am thinking about video taping my first efforts and sending it to America's Funniest Videos! Should be a hoot. Glad I live alone!

maggie, when i started out, i started with the ball at my thighs and shot for 250. i was use to moving tables and chairs around for the wed. night meal at church so i has some strength already.
i would say you could challenge yourself to 60 or so. that would be 2 a day. or go for a weekly amount of 20 per week, which would be 80.
remember, the more you do the better and stronger you will get so you should be able to do more at the end of the month than when you started.
nice to have you joining me!

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread

Hi all - I'm in for January BUT I'm travelling from Jan 7 - 26 so that leaves me very limited time.... (darn I wish I could get this ball in my suitcase!) So I'm going to shoot for 100 a day from Jan 2 - 6 and 50 a day from Jan 27 - 31. For a total of: 450 I think

As far as starting off, I started at 10 a day, 5 days a week, at my hips. It only takes a minute or two to do, so you can also split them between morning and afternoon.

Sunny - Falling off and looking like a weeble is part of the fun! (especially for the others that were watching me )

I can only hope to work up to Jimmie's level of doing them at her ankles!!! That's my goal!

Sexy arms for 2007!!!!! Here we go!

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread

Jimmie-thanks for the advise. I am going to come back with a goal later(and also make dh go into cellar to get my ball!).

[schellie]

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread

I did 20 today.

[jimmie 48]

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread

here's who we have thus far:

schellie 300
Maggie 150
kacey 450
sunny 200
verbmac 1550
sadie 250
jo 150

just to be honest, slacking off for over a month sent me back to square one on placement. i'll be able to work back down to the shin area quickly i hope.

WELCOME EVERYONE! IT'S GOOD TO HAVE COMPANY!!

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread

I am in for 50 a a day 1550 for the month

[SunnySmile501]

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread

I'm going to shoot for 10 per day, 5 days per week, for a total of 200. This should be doable and I will increase as I get better. I exercise 6 days per week, but Wednesday and Saturday, I do much less.

Sunny!

Re: January Stability Ball Push Up Challenge sign up/reporting thread
