I imagine that the actual feeling once you are in it is very much of a cocoon as we have a ball chair from the 60’s here at home and it is amazing how it changes the way you feel when you sit in it.

This 20 minute upper body workout is filled with lots of push ups, a few burpees and some fun new plank exercises. I loved the two variations of plank twist overs. It also has the tiger push up.. a new push up for me that is like a combination of a diamond and a pike push up; it is great for triceps and more challenging than it looks.. look closely and you will see my arms trembling at the end. I think there is a good balance between the different types of exercises to give give some relief from the more challenging ones and make a good flow overall. Get ready to enter the adventurous world of the ..hidden burpee planking tiger. || Read more

I woke up this morning with a tingly throat, borderline sore. I could feel it coming yesterday too but I ignored it as I rarely ever get a cold thinking it would just go away.
