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!

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.

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
