Leg Exercise on the Swiss Ball

After a month working on the Swiss Ball exercises, I have finally brought together the discipline to go through the Hamstring Curl, Quad Extension, and Leg Lift. In previous weeks, I did what was the easy route for me: 10 minute HiiT and basic core exercises. Going through the leg exercises helped me get familiar with some new techniques that will help my lower body. 

In these exercises, I started to feel areas and muscles that I do not work on in a typical workout. Keeping balance throughout in the Hamstring and Quad helps develop many of the supporting muscles all around. Warming up with the pelvic twist helped me realize that I have a ways to go in controlling my core. The leg lifts surprised me in that they really burned the lower abdomen.

I look forward to Thursday's back exercises where I'll learn and go through even more exercises. Once I get this down, I hope to reduce the amount of time in exercising to about 30 min. / day. 10 min. run or HiiT with 20 min. of swiss ball. Saturday I can work on Taiji, if I can work out a plan on the instructor side.
