Balance Ball Challenge, are you picking up what I'm throwing down?!?

Why a balance ball challenge?  Balance balls are amazing, relatively inexpensive pieces of equipment that can transform your body, no lie!  Just a few of the reasons I love balance balls. 

  • No matter what exercise you're performing on the ball, you're working your core!
  • They enhance your stability and balance (ummm, it's right in the name silly!!)
  • They are relatively cheap.
  • They don't take up a lot of room at home.
  • I think it's a fun workout, and I'm a pro;)
So here are the details for this challenge...

Time frame:  Monday through Friday for the next six weeks

Outline: For weeks one through four, I will introduce a new exercise each day.  For weeks five and six, I will will introduce combos using the 20 exercises introduced during the first four weeks.

What you should do now:
  • Make sure you have a yoga mat, a stability ball and a couple of light weight dumbbells.
  • Take your before measurements (waist at the narrowest part, hips across the hip bones at the widest part, and thighs, 10 inches above the kneecap)
  • Take your before picture.
  • Figure out how you're going to log your challenge.  This can be on a Word doc, in a notebook, in a smashbook, whatever works for you.
  • Log on the blog each day!!!
