Ok...well I just got my stability ball last weekend...I did some yoga on it yesterday...didn't knock my teeth out or put an eye out so thats good.

That baby takes some practice...so since I'll be doing it anyways, this challenge is for me.

300 minutes for August sounds workable. Sign me up Jimmie

I bought a stability ball about 3 weeks ago and haven't done much on it except sit at the computer. This will give me a chance to learn how to actually work out with it.

I'll pledge 300 minutes.
It sounds like a good number.

Okay I hope this counts. I did 25 minutes of balancing on my ball, or trying to balance. I did the four point balance, the sitting balance and tried the two point balance. It was fun and hard. I was sweating and rolling all over the place. But, by the time I was done I could balance for 5 minutes straight. Tomorrow, I'll try some other exercises.
