Very nice, Christy!

What's a torso lift??

Today, I just did 5 minutes of crunches and rev crunches.

Re: March Stability Ball Exercise Challenge sign up/reporting thread

bio, Im not sure exactly what its called so I call it the torso/butt lift lol

lie flat on the floor, heels on the top of ball and raise torso/butt off the floor and hold for a few seconds, I feel this tighten in my buttock area and a slight bit in the abdominal area as well as my upper thigh.

It was on a chart that came with my ball but it didnt give a specific name so Im really not sure what the correct name for it is.

Jimmie I went thru it pretty fast, I break everything down and do it all in sets of 10 and my crunches I do in 25's and I only did 50 crunches today since Ive been slacking lately

Ooops... I haven't been posting here. But I'm on track with my 10 minutes a day. I'll have my 130 and more by the end of the month.

Re: March Stability Ball Exercise Challenge sign up/reporting thread

Thanks for explaining that, Christy. I've done those before only without the ball. I have no idea what they're called either, but your name for it is fine by me.

I went ahead and did 15 minutes worth of ball work today to finish out my pledge of 155 minutes. I know I'm gonna be spending my evening watching a ball game, so I gotta be active during the morning and afternoon.

I mostly did crunches and reverse crunches, but also did plank squats, wall squats, and dumbbell work on them. Next month, I'm going to up my pledge to 200.

Re: March Stability Ball Exercise Challenge sign up/reporting thread

Did 10 minutes this morning, so 165/155 for the month.

I did my usual routine of crunches, rev crunches, plank squats, wall squats, and dumbbell exercises, only I tried to do more reps with each one. I feel pretty comfortable on the ball now, so I'm going to be venturing out with new exercises soon.

Re: March Stability Ball Exercise Challenge sign up/reporting thread

good job, bio! we'll have a pretty good idea of what our target goal should be next month. that is if you sign up again. i know i'll be doing another month. which reminds me, i should get a thread started so the new members can start picking and choosing what challenge they want to get involved in.
