Death By Bosu

Yesterday I was so excited that Friday was coming. That was then, this is now. Now Friday has lost it's appeal. Today was "Work out with Audrey" day. I was actually fairly excited about that because I wondered what new treasures she had in store for us today. Now I know & I'm fairly certain that more sleep would've been the way to go.

We had breakfast, got ready & headed out. Things started okay. The "Enforcer" went over our food journals, all good. Talked about work outs & how they've been going, all good. She showed me how to wrap Ryan's ankle for him with KT Tape, all good. Then it happened, the "Bosu Ball" officially came into our lives.
Until this point my limited experience had been during one previous work out with Audrey & it wasn't so bad. I was sitting & catching/throwing a ball from side to side. Very recently I discovered it makes doing Sit Bone Crunches (aka Leg Extensions) easier on my previously injured tail bone. I don't think Ryan had ever experienced it. Today we had the honor of attempting to stand on that thing. Not fun. Especially not fun for me. I think Ryan did way better than I did. I've always known I didn't have good balance, that thing just drove that point home. We did four rounds of various exercises but the two where I had to stand on the ball were interesting to say the least. I am hoping that with time, experience & the shedding of pounds it will get easier but in the meantime I'm pretty certain my butt will enjoy that Bosu Ball more than my feet will!

  2. First thing. I'd rather get it over with & have the rest of the day to wallow in my popped bubble. ;)
