Abs Exercise Ball

As for getting rid of the fat.......theres not a device or excercise to get rid of that fat. Thats cardio and diet there. Well technically there is a machine, but its about 20 grand, and it requires a plastic surgen. -------------- if you want sympathy......from me...in a dictionary look between symphony and syphillis.......there you\'ll find it!

Use a light db, easier on the keens and ancles and back. -------------- if you want sympathy......from me...in a dictionary look between symphony and syphillis.......there you'll find it!

The ball is great from a standpoint of making you unstable, this in turn leads you to have to use more balance, thus incorporating the stabilizers, and working the core muscles that get neglected often. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com
