Is it considered "cheating"......

[Traildoggie]

There are at least two times in Drillmax where you do pushups/dips on a stability ball. Even putting the ball on a mat I worry about it rolling or slipping away so I put it close to the base of the treadmill and then do the pushups facing the treadmill. If it moves it won't go far. I won't hit the floor face first. It makes me comfortable enough to do the pushups without worrying about a face plant. But is it easier this way or cheating? Inquiring minds want to know...

Hi Traildoggie! By securing the base you remove some of the stability challenge, however, your arms are still going to work hard regardless. Go for it!

Thanks Cathe for the speedy response... for some reason I didn't get a email notification...
I have a slippery laminate floor and have to be careful with my feet and gloves sliding, especially pushups and planks. My toes slide unless I get on a mat. It seems too risky to have the ball sliding so I'll work toward getting the ball a bit further from the treadmill. Oh yes, my arms are working!
