Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Sounds like something that would happen around here! Hmm..wonder what muscles are involved and how many calories burned in patching drywall! that swiss ball Ok, have to share this swiss ball story - I was trying it out for the first time, and had come across this great exercise where you do bicep curls while sitting on the ball, holding one leg up straight. It is MUCH harder than it sounds, as I found out. So I am sitting on it, kept losing my balance and had to keep putting my foot down. Finally, I got it and I start doing bicep curls. DH comes in unexpectedly behind me, talks and scares the heck out of me. Not only do I fly backwards off the ball, but the dumbell I am holding goes flying in teh air and knocks a hole in the drywall. LAST time DH ever walked in without making som enoise first!

DH was just glad it didn't clock him in the head!! It whizzed right by him. Then, once he lifted himself off the floor from laughing so hard, he realized it made a hole and was doubly glad it didn't hit him anywhere!

I love skull crushers, they are the only thing that make me feel I worked those arms hard, but I always have visoins of the dumbells falling and hitting me in the teeth (always my teeth for some reason, I never worry about them hitting me in the eye!)

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2004 Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Had to laugh because of the number of times I have found myself on the floor while trying to work with my " instability " ball!
