yep, that's what i mean. i have 3 sets of dumbbells. a 3#, a 6.6 # and an 11# set. i am also concentrating on my arms and i've found this to be very helpful. i'm getting ab work in just simply by using the ball and the weights have been a great help. i've used the smaller weights as i walk too. stab. ball pushups will help with the arm strength too.

i've done this program enough now that i am going to have to buy a 4# set.

Oh I have to write everything down or I so easily forget ........ I keep my journal/notebook rightbeside me when I work out ........ Hubby laughs at me for it but it helps when you have so many differnt places to record it all

11/5 = 18
11/6 = 13

total 94/350

My ball got popped this morning after my work out miss olivia was playing on my Eliptical and moved the peddal so it pinched the ball and made a nice slice right through it ........... UGH I guess I am off to Walmart to pick upa new one this afternoon.

Re: November Stability Ball Exercise Sign up and Reporting Thread

Back from Wlamart and I got my new ball I haven't even blown it up yet because I wanted to ask a question first ........ the first ball I got I got at Olympia sports and it was 29.00 it seemed like a very good quality but I guess nothing holds up to a slice of metal huh???? Anyways this one I got from walmart was just 10 bucks ......... I hope I'm not sorry ...... but thats not my question LOL my question is the first one I got was 65cm and the new one is 55 cm .......... doesn't sound like a big difference but will it be?????? What size ball do you all use and whats right???? Is this a personnal preference thing???? I always thought the other one was a little tall for me so this may be perfect but I don't know if there is some technical reason for the fit?????


I allready did my work out this morning so I have till tomorrow to change my mind if I need something different ........ any opinions?????

Re: November Stability Ball Exercise Sign up and Reporting Thread

Oh thank -you so my ball was too big LOL ....... I am off to inflate my new one then and assume the old one popping was a blessing in disguise ........ I wonder if some of the moves I found more difficult will be easier with a ball that fits me ??????? Fun fun!
