Great core excersize.

[yamanube]

My brother just pointed me to this work our routine last night. Its a great, simple workout that doesn't take much time, only requires an 8lb medicine ball and will kick your a*s. Works good as a simple standalone excersize or in addition to your normal workout, great workout to get you inshape for riding! Check it out.

Medicine balls can be fun! Throw it to a workout buddy.

I would like it more if it weren't for the association with UNC.



I started cossfit a few months ago, and it's made more of a difference in my overall strength that anything else I've tried. I might have to incorporate this into it on my lighter days.


Edit: Trying this right now, number 8 is really freaking hard to ballance. This series definitely hits some muscles I don't target with my usual crossfit routine. Good find.

Yeah, when I started it I got through the first few and was like "hell this is cake, I may have to up it to the 400" by the time I got to 6 or 7 I was read to quit :chairshot:

Been at this one for two weeks now, and it's a really great program. It's officially part of my regular excercise regiment.

Just tried this, but all we have at home is a 4 pound ball so it wasn't bad at all. I'm sure this would kick my a$$ with an 8 pound by the time I got to number 7.

CrossFit is absolutely where its at! Full body but core focused and most importantly, functional strength!!!

If y'all like med balls, try kettlebells! Careful though they can be addicting.

Been doing this for about a month and a half now, helped me cut 10lbs of fat and feel it really helped build strength. Haven't quite got up to the 400 yet.

Cool! Give the carve board a try.By design the carve board can really be laid over.Part of the learning process is learning to trust the tires holding power.Growing up riding skateboards the first thing you learn on a carve board is how much your skate board can not turn.You will know what I mean after you try one.

 

[madscientist]

the flow board will carve at 45* and is a blast on the concrete slopes. i want to combine it w/ a kahuna stick. that just might be fun

go cheap and just get a piece of wood to see if it's your thing. $149.00 seems like alot good luck!
