June Stability Ball Exercise Challenge... sign up and reporting thread

[jimmie 48]

If you're looking for a challenge that will work on your core and help you with stability and strength, this is for you!!

Incorporating the stability ball into your usual routine will challenge your body in new ways and break up the monotony of exercises that have gone a bit stale.

Need some ideas about which exercises to use with a stability ball? YouTube has all kinds of videos!

YOUTUBE STABILITY BALL EXERCISES

More SB exercises can be found by clicking on the following, SPARK PEOPLE

Exercises that count in this challenge include, but are NOT limited to, the following:

lying hamstring curls
tricep extensions
reverse crunches
lying leg press
push ups
jackknife
stretching
slow swim
side plank
seated leg extension
bridge ball squats
rows
stability ball exercise tapes/DVD's

Basically, any exercise that you do using your stability ball will count!



NOTE THE CHANGE IN THE WAY THE TALLY IS DONE!!!!
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR MINUTES. I
WILL NOT BE TRACKING OR ADDING UP ANYBODYS MINUTES BUT MINE. I WILL HOWEVER HAND OUT AWARDS WHEN THE TIME COMES.


HAVE FUN!, STAY COMMITTED, EARN THE AWARD!!!

I guess I'll join too. Now that I have my own stability ball, it would be a shame not to use it, right?

400 minutes for me. I'm moving and I won't have access to a gym the whole summer, so I'll increase my "non-gym" exercises.

heidi, you must have changed your post. what's written above is not what my email reply was.

Well so much for posting more often .......... Jo I have no Idea what I did differently in the two notes to you unless I posted the wrong numbers or looked at the wrong page in my notebook .......... straighten me out because I probably did something with only half my brain involved

Here's my minutes so far from the last post and don't cringe I haven't done much as my parents were here and I always feel funny doing anything in front of people ........ I have some catching up to do.

6/3 - 10 min
6/4 - 10 min
6/5 - 0 min
6/6 - 0 min
6/7 - 0 min
6/8 - 14 min

58/300 I think .........

I'm behind with my posts here again. Let's see...

June 3: 15 minutes
June 4: nothing... my parents were visiting (Heidi, I have the same problem)
June 5: nothing... same reason
June 6: nothing... I traveled to Munich
June 7: nothing... too lazy to inflate my stability ball
June 8: finally inflated the stability ball and did 20 minutes before my roommate woke up
June 9: same as on June 8 -- 20 minutes

Total....... 90/400.

Looks like I'm not behind only with my posts, but also with my exercise...
