The whole proprioperception aspect of fitness training is new to me, but I find
it great fun. It seems to be that, like body building, gains are made between
training sessions.
Can someone help with a problem relating to the gym ball which is never
addressed in the How To guides? They show you guys lifting weights while
balanced on gym balls, but they never mention how you're supposed to get on -
and more importantly - off the ball afterwards.
After attempting rather ungainly (and potentially injurious) exits while still
holding the weights, I've now begun lowering the weights alternately to the
floor first, then leaving the ball. This seems much more decorious and safe. But
has anyone discovered another way?

You can increase resistance (to an extend) by wrapping the bands around your hands, but then you need thicker sets as time goes on (although the thinner minis...
I guess i'm prolly stating the obvious, but one advantage to the bands is that much like cable excercises, they apply resistance through the entire motion,...

As I said, more a "bob" than a squat (laughable rather than legal depth :-). Going to work on lowering over the spring/summer, got to fathom some system to do...
