[jimmie 48]

same as sooooo many months in the past........... y'all know the drill. but just in case you're new to the board or this challenge, read on:

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?

hey! a new challenger i have not met yet! welcome to the sbec!

yes, it is the time spent. the 180 minutes that you posted means that you will spend at least that much time exercising with your new stab. ball. those exercises can be yoga style, stretching, using weights, etc.... anything that you can do with your exercise ball will count.

I miss my ball!!!

I'm sorry G, but I SO understand... I'll have to deflate mine and take it with me next week when I go South to visit friends

i know it's not much

And every couple of minutes helps. 8 minutes every day would get you to goal

Add another 30 for me today
