Yesterday I discovered that I am not a good candidate for a Swiss exercise ball. First off, the DVD made me completely uncomfortable… somehow staring at a completely hairless man in itty bitty shorts twisting his pelvis around and around and around didn’t feel quite right. Go figure.
The instructions for the first motion were relatively simple. Place your shoulder on the ball, extend your legs out horizontally, and lift your hips up. Repeat.
You’ll notice that at no point in this sequence is “roll backward off the ball” mentioned. Nor is “lean far enough for the ball to wildly pop out and whack your dog.” My bad. Because these were the only steps I was able to manage before quitting in hysterics.
The dog and the baby were less than amused. My sister tried to comfort me by saying that the ball wasn’t inflated enough. Yeah, that was the issue. For sure.
