Well I see I need to be more careful with some of your advice!

Jo55 Was talking about these stretching exercises, and I thought to my self, hey the kids have one of those exercise balls in the basement. They got it a a garage sale and love tossing it around. I brought it up to the launder room to clean it with comet. It was still usable with the permanent marker snowman drawn on it. Of course the 3 Christmas kittens thought this was too much fun and had to join in on a game of chase the towel while I cleaned it. That only took me about half an hour, now I google some exercises and I watch this guy on you tube kneel on one and hold his balance, next he starts bouncing a ball, then finishes up with lifting weights. I am impressed. it looked so easy to do! (not) so I go to the ball and I decide it it's a little flat, I pull out the pin and blow it up manually, this was my first mistake, I blew my brain out I think, almost passing out, I get it as firm as I am willing to go, and not have a stroke!!. I then thought well "just put it between your knees and roll on it like this" well good luck! I had to hang on to the dresser to not fall off. I time my self I hung on two minutes, Mistake number 2. My legs are still wobbling and I hope i can walk tomorrow. But then!!!! I decide to tone it down and just have some light stretches. Mistake number 3. I lie on this thing on me back but my hair clip sticks in to my head, so I remove it. I am not noticing the ball is rolling backward over my long hair pinning me backwards on the ball unable to move with out riping my hair out!!! I havd gone to far to get back up! Well I started to laugh which is hard when you are stretched in this unusual way. I fell over sideways and excaped the "murder ball". I am still laughing. Thought I might share one of my new experiences with you!
