Exercise Ball
March 25th 2009 04:35
In my continuous quest for exercises I am able to do, I finally decided to try an exercise ball. I must say, this was a good decision! The ball makes many exercises I couldn't do before possible - and much lower impact.
If you decide to get a ball, be sure to check the size - mine is just a bit too big for me. It was supposed to be for people 5' 6" and shorter. I'm only 5' 2", so it's just a little too big. But it works great for most of the exercises.
The warm-up is really easy - you just sit on the ball and bounce for about a minute. Super easy, and kind of fun. (Remember those bouncy ball things with handles when we were kids - I always loved those - if this had a handle, I'd bounce all over the house on it!)
Anyway - after the warm-up, there are several exercises I do each day. It only takes a few minutes, and it's really helping a lot. I have more energy, and I'm burning more calories, and targeting specific areas for toning.

I highly reccommend an exercise ball - especially for people like me, who have physical limitations and trouble with most types of exercise.
