I have a super busy day so I did my work outs this morning ........ as you can see by my 12 min I slacked big time ......... I just can't get into it as much in the mornings for some reason .........if my class tonight is over soon enough I might try and get some more time in tonight but we'll see .........

Everyone is doing awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yipppeee!

10/8 = 20 min
10/9 = 12 min

total = 151 /500

Re: October Stability Ball Exercise Sign up and Reporting Thread

i can't get into the morning workouts either heidi. i'm lucky to make it downstairs without tripping over my own feet. just do what you can when you can and don't make it a drudgery or you'll lose interest. i'd rather see lower minutes and an ongoing workout than lots of minutes for 2 weeks and then total burn out.


kntrylady, thanks for the tip on youtube. i'll check that out and get a link to add to the first post.

bio, good to see the update, i was wondering about you.

glenda? we don't have but one post from you at 40 minutes. let us know how you are doing, k?

Re: October Stability Ball Exercise Sign up and Reporting Thread

Well I'm back from the doc and I'm going to have to either drop out or change my goals for the Challenge ......... dropping out will not effect me continueing when I can so don't worry about that but I am on a no pressure on my foot at all order for ten days following surgery and then a surgical boot for a week after that before I can resume normal use of my foot......... sooooooooooooo thats 17 days of no excercise ...... well any excercise that requires pressure on my foot or two feel for stability anyways if I am allowed to adjust my minutes for goal I will keep them at an average of 20 a day till the 15th which would put me at a total goal of 300. If it's against the rules to change your goal then I totally understand and I will just have to drop out for this month but will be back for sure in Novemeber!!!!


Let me know ...........

Re: October Stability Ball Exercise Sign up and Reporting Thread

heidi, you can soooo change your goals. we're not unbending and written in stone or blood in this challenge.

in fact, i'd be willing to say, that whatever you do... that's the goal number. you might have problems arise that you didn't expect.

so i'll change the official number but whatever you get done this month, that will be your goal.

Re: October Stability Ball Exercise Sign up and Reporting Thread

10/9

20 minutes

Re: October Stability Ball Exercise Sign up and Reporting Thread

Thanks Jimmie so make my goal 300 and I'll work towards that. I did 20 more minutes last night ............ I learned a new one from a friend and it's just like swimming free style is a flutter kick balanced on the ball like when you do pushups .......... it was easy at first but after about 100 you really feel it and then she had me go slow with the same motion and it works your butt! Probably not new to you all but new to me and it added an easy extra few minutes to my work out with no toe pressure! Yippeee!
