I got it today! And needed 45 minutes and probably 200 calories to inflate the darn thing, because it came with a toy-like hand pump. Before, I was using the one at the gym, but we only have one ball there so there had been times when I had to wait 30 min - 1 hour for my turn to come. This is also why I wasn't joining the challenge every month. One awesome thing about having my own ball is that I can now watch the videos while doing the exercises, so I don't have to remember everything. I'm like Dory from Finding Nemo, I know...

yeah! you got it! i didn't know, or at least i don't remember, that you were having to share one at the gym. so much nicer to have your own. and you got double the exercise by inflating it!

i'm really liking the short little videos on sparkpeople. and i'm really feeling the pain too.

I knew you were using those, so I tried them today. I did Nicole's 15 minutes one... and lunges with water bottles (aka dumbbells :P)... and then back extensions and crunches. I must admit I am pretty bad at crunches -- I have the feeling that I'm gonna "roll" off the ball like a dunce. At least I'm alone in my room, in case something embarrassing happens.

[jimmie 48]

rolling off the ball is half the fun! LOL i've learned to love hating nicole.

[going for it!]

I just started at this on 4/1 (much needed too I might say), and boy are my abs ever sore!!!

I'm sore for some reason too. Probably it's from the weights I've been lifting and not from the stability ball, but I'm not sure...

Hello all. I'm terribly sorry I've not been on. I've been so sick, bed rest for about a week now. I am feeling so much better today (still sick but feeling better) so I will have to start today.

I will post my numbers tonight, I am going to work work work!

g, you're really ahead of the game with your minutes! good job!

bbb, we're sorry you've not been well. the good thing is you have plenty of time to complete the challenge.

going for it, maybe by the end of the month, you'll be doing more and not so sore!
