I have been wanting to work out and get back in shape for a long time. well actually I don't know if " Back In Shape" is the correct thing to say because I am not so sure I was ever in shape to begin with, but that is beside the point. I am not that good at the goal setting, new years resolution thing. I have always wanted to be but for some reason just never do well with it. this year I thought I would just pick a few things to be better at like reading my scriptures, saying family and personal prayer, finding time to go to the temple, eating healthier and working out. I have been wanting to get an exercise ball for a while now but when I went to the sporting goods store didn't realize it would put me out $ 40.00!!!! but little did I know I was in luck I walked into Walmart the other day and right there in the entrance
was this little beauty:
How much you ask was this wonderful piece of equipment? $ 10.00
yes 10.00 I was so excited and it came with a little pump!!!
I simply could not pass up this opportunity!!
I very happily picked one off the pile and set it in my cart.
I LOVE bargains!!!
I got it home, opened it up and pulled it out. the ball looked nice. the pump on the other hand probably cost .50 cents to make I thought I might break it.
I took out the plug and started pumping and I kept pumping........ and pumping......and pumping
I think it took me close to an hour to pump the thing up.
(who new that that was where the real workout was!!!)
It also can with a fold out poster of a whole bunch of excercises you can do on your ball.
I have faithfully been using this ball for three days and let me tell you it is kicking my hyney!!!
In the middle of the workout I am thinking to myself that it is not working because I don't feel a thing,and that it is the easiest workout I have ever done.
It has definitely proven me wrong!!
the minute I am finished I am feeling every second of it!!!
So I think I am on my way to my goal:
Ya Right!!! I wish!!! Hopefully someday I will look like that, until then I would just be happy to lose the last few inches of "Baby Fat" around the middle,
and fit in the new swimming suit I just got for Hawaii.
so if any of you are looking for a really good workout for $10.00 walmart is the place to go!!

Way to go Jax. I also got one for christmas along with 3 dvd's for working different parts of the body with the ball. If you want to copy them you are welcome to them...they are still in the package. Yea, I am working hard at my resolution! Maybe I need a goal like Hawaii to get me in gear!
Where did you get that photo of me in my bathing suit!?? Hahaha!....I have the same goal before Hawaii...here's to looking semi good in a bathing suit in 5 weeks!
I got one, too!! Every morning I roll over and say "OWWWW!" Really hope it does more magic by Hawaii, too!!
Cool! I didn't know it was so cheap. Good for you on becoming a goal setter. I have no doubt that you'll look really hot in your bikini in Hawaii!
You are so funny! I love reading your blog! We need to have another game night...
