Still, I have a newer and larger Yoga Ball and I'm so happy I bought it!
I had a smaller yoga ball for certain exercises, but I had read some time ago that if you sit on one at your desk or while watching tv, you're constantly contracting your core - as in your abs.
Well, I hate sit-ups. We've established this. And, while I do enough to say that I've done them...I don't really do enough to firm them as much as I should. Then, I started sitting on my old yoga ball. YEEEOW! Hello tighter upper and lower abs. Hiya, smoother lower back muscles. Dayum, my improved posture makes my boobs look perky.
So, last week I decided to up the ante and get a bigger and better yoga ball for my height - one to use when I'm sitting at my desk. I'll eventually get up to a few hours a day, but for now, one is about all I can stand.
That's because I found a new workout on Netflix that I love as much as I hate - and I friggin loathe this woman by the end of it. It's called The Crunch Super SlimDown Pilates Yoga Blend.
Whether you have Netflix or not, if you're looking to tone your tuckus, arms and core, check this video out.
It's tough - but there are modifications to make it easier to start...and even then, I'm dripping sweat onto the mat. It's awesome.
Clearly, my definition of awesome is high on endorphins right now.
