Default October Stability Ball Exercise Challenge ~ sign up and reporting thread

yadda yadda............... 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?

Yoga on the Ball

YOUTUBE STABILITY BALL EXERCISES

YouTube - Stability ball for jiu jitsu

VIDEO: 20-Minute Resistance Band Workout

Total Body Resistance Band Workout - Exercises for your body - Exercise

More SB exercises can be found by clicking on the following, SPARK PEOPLE

Exercises that count in this challenge include, but are NOT limited to, the following:

lying hamstring curls
tricep extensions
reverse crunches
lying leg press
push ups
jackknife
stretching
slow swim
side plank
seated leg extension
bridge ball squats
rows
stability ball exercise tapes/DVD's

Basically, any exercise that you do using your stability ball will count!

NOTE THE CHANGE IN THE WAY THE TALLY IS DONE!!!!
YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR MINUTES. I
WILL NOT BE TRACKING OR ADDING UP ANYBODYS MINUTES BUT MINE. I WILL HOWEVER HAND OUT AWARDS WHEN THE TIME COMES.

HAVE FUN!, STAY COMMITTED, EARN THE AWARD!!!
