August Stability Ball Exercise Challenge ~ sign up and reporting thread

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?

Oh and as you can tell by the lack of pictures we STILL have no baby yet. She is as of today 5 cm dialted and about 90% effaced. I think the baby is just going to fall out when it's time! LOL

Happy Days!

hiya! glad to have you joining us!


everyone is off to a good start 'cept me. but i did get 8 minutes done tonight.
you know, the problem with me is this.... i am really enjoying my house and all that we are doing to it to make it ours and i just lose track of time. by the time i remember that i should be doing some ball work or even biking, i'm too tired, it's too late or both.

Well I FINALLY have a new grandson! He was born at 2:35 AM on August 4th notice no Minutes that day as we got ZERO sleep the night before and I was exhausted........ The awesomest ( I know I made that word up) Part of the whole thing was somehow Ashlie and CHris changed their minds and I got to attend his birth. It was amazing as always and a wonderful experience. His name is Blake Michael Allen and he was 8 lbs 9 oz and 21.5 inches long. A perfect little blessing!


8/4 - 0 min
