Re: January Stability Ball Challenge!

I did so many squats today in my weight-lifting class at the university. OMG!! I'm so sore and know that it'll be worse tomorrow!! Ugh!! Until then, I've been stretching like mad to help out my poor muscles.

Re: January Stability Ball Challenge!

Jo your doing great! Those minutes will rack up quickly and before you know it you'll be claiming goal!!!!!

Bio I think one of my very favorite Ball exercises is stretching I love doing deep thigh lunges and stretching out my sore legs especially after the elliptical or squatting!

parouz I don't know how you do 90 minutes in one stretch I have a hard time getting past 22 these days. I have a 30 min DVD but I often don't get through it all.

Here's my update:

1/23 - 10
1/24 - 18

1/26 - 10

Well, you can always challenge yourself either with more minutes, different exercises, or both! You can also focus on form and target specific areas. There's so much that you can do!!

1/23: rest!
1/24: 20 min
1/25: rest!
1/26: 20 min

There's not much left to this month!!! Where on earth does the time go?

See Jo there's 4 days to go and just 25 minutes to goal! I knew there was no doubt you would make it!

Just 8 minutes for me today I was in a super big rush this monring and had to cut my work out short

Re: January Stability Ball Challenge!

Some workout is better than no workout. We're almost at the end to another month! Just a word of warning to those signing up for next month....we have fewer days to get our minutes done in Feb, so keep that in mind.

Re: January Stability Ball Challenge!

made it, i actually made it and with a couple days to spare. it was hard this month to get myself in gear, not just with this challenge but with my others. i'm glad i didn't take on too much, i would have been in serious trouble.

Re: January Stability Ball Challenge!

I'm glad you're listening to your body, Jo. No need to over do it!! You've got so much going on with your recovery that the last thing I want you to worry about is getting in your numbers for the ball. You know that Heidijobio will always help you out! *hugs*

I need to come up with some new stretches....my whole upper-body is so sore this morning from yesterday's weight lifting class. I now know that I can bench press 85 pounds for 3 reps using free weights. I'm stronger than I thought b/c I always thought I had weak arms. I think my time with dumb bells (of all sorts! LOL) really helped out. However, my arms feel like jello today and just s-o-r-e!

1/29: 10 min

Parouz, I'm glad you'll be with us again next month! I will be setting up a new thread for next month and will post a link to it here, but I'm sure you can find it.

Re: January Stability Ball Challenge!
