got balls?
 
stability balls, physio balls, swiss balls, balance balls, exercise balls--call 'em what you will-- I :heartpump my stability ball.

It's a great piece of equipment for the home workerouter. You can do so much with it! You can use it for abs, for stretching, for relaxing, as a substitute for a bench to do dumbell work on--you can even use it for cardio!

And when you're not using it--- it becomes an extra seat.

Plus, it's fun to play with balls! I also have a medicine ball that I use, but it's not as versatile.

If you have balls, remember to check them for irregularities once a month.

When I was in high school, we boys were made to watch a film about testicular cancer, including the concept of the self-exam. The narrator said, in typical bored, flat, school-film voice, "Try to examine yourself once a month. You might use a monthly event to remind yourself. For example, when your telephone bill comes, you would know that you should perform a testicular examination."

You can just imagine the aftermath for the next couple weeks. "Hey Fred, you get your phone bill yet??"

Although I have to give them props. It was one of the stupidest things I've ever seen, but because of that I remember it to this day.

(God only knows what the girls got.)

To answer the original question, I've started working with some rubber bands and tubes to get in more exercise at home. I'm still not very diligent, but I do it more often than I get to the gym. I've thought about getting a ball.

They hung little reminder cards inside the showers in my college dorm. Honest to god.

Should be held every night

I check my balls every day in the shower to make sure they are secure or don't become unscrewed. It's very distressing to swallow a ball or have them disappear down the drain.

I have had the hardest time getting used to the resistence bands. They tend to sit around much more than my other home gym equipment. I use them for stretching sometimes, and they have the advantage of being portable, I guess.

Also, the ones like thin latex scarves are rather . . . sensual. ;)

I'd like to propose the Cellar Official Outsourced Team Examination Ritual/Wide Area Neighborly Groping (C.O.O.T.E.R./W.A.N.G.) initiative, wherein mixed gender pairs will conduct thorough exams on each other's jumbly bits, all in the interest of early detection and prevention.

Who's in?

I'm there. But the ladies will have to sign a disclaimer, absolving me of responsibility should they pass out when I unleash the wang-dang-doodle.

I have heard that it is possible for people to laugh themselves unconscious.:rolleyes:

My lawyers are very clever with the semantics.
