NOW Who's freakin genious idea was this?!!!!!


That dumb exercise about balancing on your knees atop an exercise ball!!! Now thanks to a stupid chair in front of me I'm minus two front teeth!!!!


Just kidding, but that darn exercise is pretty hard. I had to use a chair to hold on to it if not, I probably would now be toothless or at least have a busted lip......LOL

I'm lucky I can walk and chew gum at the same time. lol. I'll sit on an exercise ball and lift weights. But kneel on one ? Naah.

You are a silly boy. I had a hard time gettin gup on top of the ball, but once I was there I'm good. I need to try adding tdicine ball or something. But I'm afriad if I move to much I will fall off! I start fairly close to a wall to help support myself while I roll up.

Re: NOW Who's freakin genious idea was this?!!!!!
I can now DO this exercise!! I can kneel on the ball for several minutes while holding a 5 lb medicine ball out in front of me and rotating it from side to side. The added benefit will come when it's time to wear the bikini again :^0. I can see abs that I never knew I had!!

Thats awesome!!! I know I have them and they look great. I just can't see them under the balnket of fat that is currently hiding them. I suppose I will see them soon enough. LOL. I can feel them though!

Re: NOW Who's freakin genious idea was this?!!!!!
I've been working out most of my life (running, lifting, baseball, etc) But I can't for the life of me figure out why it would be beneficial to kneel on an exercise ball trying to balance yourself holding a medicine ball. I'm sure it serves a purpose, I just don't no what. Enlighten me please! PS, looks pretty difficult.

That could be Jesus. I think I have always been wearing pants when I have done it. LOL

It's all about strengthening the core. Weak core muscles is what led to my injury and several months (4 months and still going) of physical therapy. Plus, it's a challenge...I like a challenge!

I think I'm gonna start trying to do this exercise more often, it's so good. Not trying to make excuses but it could have also been that I had just finished running and my legs were extra slippery with sweat and I kept slipping off the ball.


Yeah yeah yeah, blah blah blah.

Re: NOW Who's freakin genious idea was this?!!!!!
That is an exercise? Sounds like practice for a circus routine????? In my house if you see a ball you kick it. So my luck would be that I would get up on top of the ball and my short person would come thru and kick it out from underneath me. And I would be next to Jesus in the ER waiting to have my teeth fixed.....

Try rolling your pants up above your knees...it is a bit easier.

Jen, remember that doesn't work for Jesus either, he has sweaty legs and slips off. ;)
