Well tonights session at college was a bit "yeah knew that" to start with and then we got a demo on using a gym ball!
I have one but have never been shown to use it so had only used it as a seat! The one I got was from avon, £15 and the small one e.g.55cm.
It's not! It's more like 65cm! She showed me the 55cm and it is smaller! We did some work on them and I knew I was working even in the short demo session. I also noticed the weaker right hip that the fizzio said about! It also reminded me about my lack of core muscle strength and crap posture!
The teach was amazing! I spent most of the 1st half thinking "That's the body I want, slim, toned and fit" then watching her do the gym ball moves with no wobbling and ease and grace even doing the advanced poses was just WOW!! She had a washboard belly and was just so toned and strong it was awesome! One day ....
So anyway ... Beanz is going to see if my ball is OK for her and I am going to get a smaller, pixie sized one! If Beanz needs a pixie sized one too I can get her one from college too!
Tomorrow is speedwork time! Now do I chicken out and do a tready speedwork session (which will be a late evening tiring one!) where the tready makes me run faster (or I land on my arse on the floor behind it!) or do I be brave and try a proper speedwork session down the canal?? Part of me says slap on the GPS to monitor speed (now I have new batteries!) and work your butt at lunch and part of me says tready makes it easier! But tready would mean having tea with the boys then having to leave them to run whereas lunch means a broken up day with longer lunch (no boss!) etc! Hmmmmm I think I will take the kit to work and see what happens!!
Anyway now I am knackered and need sleep so nite folks!

me - I am in a hotel with pool and gym, so the tready and swim I hope.
Any good reading material on the gym ball exercises. We've one in the house which could get put to better use than rolling around in BigW's bedroom.
Main point - core muscles must be set!
Can I have a copy of the sheet too please?
Thanks, Bear xx
