I had a good workout with Michelle today. I feel like we did everything. Here’s the rundown, of course the order isn’t exact as this is from memory. Sorry for the boring post of a list but I know some of you have told me you like seeing what I am doing. All I can say is that I really felt good after the workout.

  1. Warm Up:
    1. Step on stepper, then twirl backwards and repeat. Don’t know the official name for this.
    2. Mountain climbers on the Bosu ball.
  2. Bicep curls while standing on an upsidedown Bosu ball. It took me a good minute to get my balance, I was surprised how fast I was able to stabilize.
  3. Walking lunges while holding a 20lb barbell on that ball of my neck/back.  I thought these would hurt my neck, but the positioning was perfect. J
  4. Free Motion Machine: two arm push.
  5. Free Motion Machine: Split Stance Two Arm Push-Pull
  6. Standing on Bosu ball holding a plate, I bent to my left ankle and then up high to my right side. This one was hard to balance and my sneakers were digging into the top of my ankle since they were angled on the Bosu to balance.
  7. Standing crunch with plate on the Bosu.
  8. Standing with the plate and just twisting side to side without moving hips.
  9. Crunches criss-cross

10.  Jump Rope for 2 minutes.

11.  I call these swimmers. While lying down legs extended just before my back arches and just move the legs as if you were swimming.

12.  Laying face down, stomach on an exercise ball, feet against the wall for support, I did back extensions or supermans. I have done this on the ground before and have felt back ache, but the ball and my feet against the wall provided so much support. I kind of liked this one.

13.  While in the same position, I did reverse flys with some dumbbells.

14.  Laying on the exercise ball on my side, holding a plate, I did side crunches.
