I recently got a set of the perfect push up things. They really do work well! Definitely recommend them. I couldn't believe I bought them though.

Pete, how long do the sessions take in your video?

anybody own GIANT RUBBER BALLS or have recommendations???

i built a weightroom out of our guest room and got one so the wife could use it - casue theyre for ladies - anyway - i use it a lot for ab workouts and it burns big time. not a gimmick toy at all.

I think the euro's developed the exercise ball for rehabilitation some time ago- I think it was the real reason the Pilgrams left to come to the new big rubber ball free world

speaking of infomercials and giant rubber balls, there was a two-hour infomercial about sex toys on at 4 in the morning the other night, i'm not sure i've ever been more disturbed.

yeah, quit acting like a chick

hahaha... just so long as i act like a chick who can climb harder than you i don't really give a damn (it would be nice if someday i actually back up all my talk though). perhaps BIG RUBBER BALLS are the answer indeed!

somehow i knew that putting that in all CAPS would get some responses too.

dude, don't ever start acting like my girlfriend. That would just be weird. I'll let you borrow her cloths sometime though.

they're all about an hour -- including warm up and cool down -- which is nice, because on my own i never really bother with the warm up and cool down phases... (oops)... the yoga video is 90 minutes (and ass kicking) and there is an extra 15 min ab workout you tag onto the end of several of the hour long ones -- all and all, it is fun and i think it will actually be applicable to climbing -- lots of core strengthening and some muscle development -- i'll let you know. i know i won't look like an infomercial in 90 days, but it is fun -- and i needed a change.
