lying hamstring curls
tricep extensions
reverse crunches
lying leg press
push ups
jackknife
stretching
slow swim
side plank
seated leg extension
bridge ball squats
1 arm rows


........... any exercise that you are using your stability ball will count.
More SB exercises can be found by clicking on the following, SPARK PEOPLE and be sure to check out the Tuesday and Thursday posting of the Exercise of the Day in the Exercise Forum. You might find some things being posted that could very well be done using the ball.

Please state how many minutes you are committing to in April, in this thread and then during the month try to check in each time you rack up the minutes.

HAVE FUN! AND STAY COMMITTED!!!

i completed 230 minutes in march and have 244 right now. going lower than 250 does not seem right. one less day in April so i'll commit to 255 minutes in April.

I did 15 minutes worth of exercises on the ball this morning, but I didn't add any new exercises. I just did more reps of the same ones.
