Supreme 90 - Ultimate Ball

This routine is definitely something I need. My core has never been that great and with the extra weight around the middle, it's a real challenge.

For lack of a better warm up, I went with the generic one that comes with S90. It supports this workout as well as anything I could find. The actual routine is 30 minutes long. 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off. That puts us around 30 sets. Most repeat twice, so you end up with 15-20 unique exercises.

You start off innocently enough with some plank work, that becomes a real challenge after a few rounds. I'm not going to go into detail about each exercise, as I don't have the verbal acumen to describe them all.

You use the ball for every exercise. Obviously, there is some plank work, a fair amount of reverse plank work(back on the ball, straighten out as best you can). Plenty of ab work. No dumbbells. Some leg work, as well as glutes.

Rolling out onto the ball requires plenty of space. At 6 foot 3, with a large ball, I'm on the other side of the room, out of site of the video before I know it.

All in all, not a bad workout. I'm sure I'll feel it in the morning, and will definitely look to work harder next time.

Tomorrow is rest day, so there won't be a post. I'm planning to do Xstretch from P90x as there is minimal stretching in S90, and it is something I really miss. I never thought I would say that. Of everything I've lost with not working out for a few months, I think flexibility is the biggest thing.
