Seriously, I had to walk down the stairs BACKWARDS and even sitting on the toilet was painful. But, it's getting better and I am seeing changes in my body already, so I am super happy about it.
Speaking of changes, and it the interest of full disclosure, here are my "Before" pics:
Front - Before Flex |
Right Side - Before |

Now that I have recovered from the trauma of "putting myself out there", here is what I have been up to:
This was my first day for HIIT Cardio, I did Treadmill Sprints. |
Shoulder Day! |
In the pic above, there is an entry called "Swiss Ball Pikes". In case you don't know what that is, let me explain:
- Get a Swiss Ball (Yoga Ball, Stress Ball, Labor Ball...big blow up ball you sit on)
- TRY to gracefully get on the ball with your legs resting on the ball and hands/arms in push up position (Try is the operative word)
- Simultaneously, pull your feet forward and push your butt upwards, while not falling off the ball (easier said that done)
- Repeat 14 more times (if you can, without stopping)
- Repeat Steps 1-4 three more times
Here is a video showing me doing said maneuver:
I will spare you the sight of me getting OFF the ball... :)
Until next time!
