Whoa boy have I been busy!
I've learned a few more new workouts from Ken. The latest is a series with the giant yoga balls.
Pick up the ball and put it on a wall with your hand holding it in place. Give a little bit of a lean into the ball just so there's some pressure on it.
Now, you do the Mr. Miyagi routine: Wax on (rotate left 20 times) Wax off (rotate right 20 times). Then you paint the fence (move side-side and up-down 20 times). I think the one thing he didn't do was move diagonally, but here you do. Diagonally right and left 20 times each.
Did I mention you do this all facing directly toward the ball and then repeat standing to the side of the ball? Oh, and do both arms.
This will absolutely make you stronger. I've seen the results in the gym many times already and am becoming a very firm believer in these small muscle exercises. They support the bigger muscles which I can easily hit in the gym.
Speaking of the gym, I started lifting again with my right arm. I did dumbbell bench presses with a whole two pounds in my right hand. That's right folks...be wary of my might.
One other quick thing: Sounds like Jamie Moyer is with the Blue Jays farm system and should pitch against the Rainers on Thursday. If you are in Tacoma, get there!
