Planned my entire bi's & tri's workout around stability exercises today. Got to the gym around 9am and started with a nice 20 minute run. Okay, so I had planned to go for longer than that but at least I can say that I've upped my speed to 5.5 and brought the incline to 2 so it wasn't a total letdown. Plus, I'm guessing the slice of mashed potato & bacon pizza I was coerced into having at Otto around 12am last night wasn't helping things.
After my run I started with three sets of 8 bicep dumbbell curls while standing on the bosu ball. Then, staying on the bosu, I moved into three sets of 8 overhead tricep extensions. I then grabbed a bench and a stability ball and did three sets of 8 tricep dips with a 10 lb. plate on my lap and my feet balancing on the ball. For my final arm workout I did three sets of 8 bicep curls using a 30 lb. barbell, also standing on the bosu.
For abs today, I did 4 sets of 8 stability ball leg lifts followed by 3 sets of 8 pushups with my toes on a stability ball. These are really difficult but I will say I am getting much better at them! I'd like to think that my whole workout, minus the run, was all a bit of an abs workout seeing as I added some form of stabilization into everything. Definitely going to try to do more of this in the future!
