[Sundae]

Back to the gym again today, but the bosu was missing. This is like a part of a gym ball on a circular base (see below). I use it with the base on the floor and the round part in the small of my back - for sit ups that use a specific abdominal muscle/s. Don't ask me what, I'm just doing what I'm told!

I did s0me sit-ups on a normal ball instead, but they were so much harder and I felt less secure so I only did half (feeling guilty now).

I came home and thought hmmmm - I could do them at home every day if I had one here. And you can turn it over and use it to balance on - can't remember what muscles it targets but my instructor did tell me at the time. I like that idea - like a game but good for you.

So I went on ebay - none there, new or second hand (you gotta love second hand fitness stuff that people buy in January and get rid of the next Autumn!) Checked Amazon - they're pretty new in this country and sell for £80+ Darn. Next time I'm in the gym I'm going to ask an instructor for another set if exercises for the same muscle group in case the bosu goes missing again. And hopefully they won't require any equipment, so I can do them at home absolutely free.

Feeling really good about the gym - I'm glad he got me to do the extra exercises because even with them it's such a minor time commitment and it is boosting my confidence.
