Re: September Stability Ball Exercise Challenge

Heidi, sometimes it's good to take a break! You're in quite a few challenges, so maybe your body was telling you something?

This morning, I did 20 minutes of stretches, upper body weights, and abs.

Rest days are good! Gives your muscles a chance to repair all the little tears you get form exercising (or so I've read).

reverse crunches
pushups
jackknives
dumbells curls and overhead thingies

Re: September Stability Ball Exercise Challenge

I'm pretty sure. I found it in the popular exercise reference guide "Recovering from Addiction: Computer Gamer's Guide to Bulging Biceps".

Also wanted to add, got some gumption this evening so did another 15 minutes of stab ball work.

Exactly the same exercises as this morning, including the overhead thingies. (I'll try to figure otu the real name tomorrow )

Re: September Stability Ball Exercise Challenge

Overhead thingies could be a number of things including some strange disease! I'm curious as to what it is!

This morning, I did 20 minutes of lower body moves, abs, and stretches.
