upper and lower pyramid

[busymommy]

Does anybody else have problems doing plank work with the stability ball on upper body pyramid?x(

The plank work is tough because the upper body is already fried from the weights. Cathe has suggested tackling the plank work separately from the upper body work if it is troublesome, so if you have the DVD and can cue it up fast, practice on days when your upper body can handle the planks. Also, really concentrate on pulling your navel up and into your spine to engage the abdominals every time you roll the ball in to keep the core from collapsing.

Keep trying - you'll get there!

I do the stability ball work before the rest of the workout and it STILL fries my shoulders! I just keep at it, though, and try to improve with each workout.
