Erin’s Balance Ball Workout

(Don’t try this at home, unless you’re looking for new ways to inflict pain on yourself.)

Step 1:

Ask for a balance ball for Christmas/Chanukah.

Step 2:

Inflate it using the tiny handpump they give you. This is a workout in itself and may take up to an hour.

Step 3:

Discover that to use the balance ball you actually have to be in good shape first, as it requires very strong core muscles to stay balanced.

Step 4:

Put the ball away for six months while you do other exercises to get into shape.

Step 5:

Bring the ball out again to attempt some ball-assisted crunches.

Step 6:

Fall backwards off the ball and crack your head against your bedframe.

Step 7:

Apply ice.

Seriously, I do not recommend this workout to anyone.
