PLB Stability Ball Work

[rachel132]

I have a difficult time getting through the part where you are supine and pull your legs in (straigh leg and "forggie" style) because the front of my lower leg, my chins, start burning to the point that I just cannot continue to the end. Am I doing the excersize wrong or do I just need to build up endurance in my lower leg?

This happens to me too! :-(

For now I do what I can and then I continue with the modification moves that are shown without the stability ball.

I hope Cathe can answer this for us.

I could very well be lack of endurance in the shin area. Susan's idea to do what you can as shown, then continue in modified form is good. You can also stretch the shin a bit betwee exercises, and take a break when you need to (pause the DVD or tape), then keep going with the exercise. That way, you'll get in the same number of reps, and work towards endurance. Try to do just one more rep before stopping each workout.

Thanks Kathryn!
I will just try taking breaks to try and build up endurance in my SHINS...not chins, duh. (At this point I only have one chin ~ thank goodness.)

Sarah...guess we got a little work ahead of us to get up to par.
