I did abs on my new bosu ball yesterday--and BOY are those exercises harder than doing them on the stability ball! Whew! Plus the legs really get a workout when you use it as a step.

I found some of those '8 minute' exercises on 'On Demand'. Wow! They really pack a whollup.

I heard somewhere that the "7 minute" ones are better.

Quickie push/pull workouts for those with under 2yo kids:
#1: requires 1 set of dumbells... pick up from floor (squat) lift up to shoulders (hammer curl) lift over head (arnold press) reverse and repeat until failure. You can do these at home, any time you have a few minutes. These next ones assume you are at a gym (or have cables at home). You're in a hurry, but warm up with elliptical at least 15 minutes to get your heart rate up, and then jump into these no-rest supersets. #2 (torso): requires low pulley (close-grip attachment)... 10 strict reps lat pulls, jump off and do 10 push-ups, 10 strict reps lat pulls, jump off and do 10 push-ups... no rest in between sets, repeat until failure. #3 (arms): requires high/low pulley... start at a warm up weight, with a rope attachment, do ten reps hammer curls, slide pulley to top and do ten reps triceps pressdowns, increase weight and repeat x10 hammercurls, x10 pressdowns, no rest in between sets, repeat until failure.

I concur.
Although dumbells don't barf on you or spit out cracker crumbs.

Snowed out of fencing Friday, but that means good snow for cc skiing today. Keep those workouts fun people.

Totally agree. The stairs up to the top of the tube rides at the indoor water park are far more fun than the stairbastard. I climbed them 70-80 times over two days, including 17 times in 30 minutes on one of the days. Purely to get in shape of course. 58 steps per ride, btw. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I'm impressed, msmonster. I cannot go UP readily. And I don't think I've ever been on a waterslide. Obviously I have to put that on my list.
I've been on a "mountainslide" though--that was fun. But I didn't have to walk to the top!

I don't like the waterslides without the tubes so much -the seams hurt! Our boys took to sitting at the end of them and enjoying the waves as people (mostly kids) come down. beest snuck up and had a go and nearly drowned the poor buggers -Thor was literally washed away!
