Read Warning Labels!

O.k. I thought it would be a great idea to get even more exercise in my day...Like working out 6 days a week with my trainer.... Running with him 3 days a week. ...Going 6 miles (at Least) a day on my Gazelle....Monday- Kick boxing class... Wednesday- Step class..... And Water aerobics on Thursday, Isn't enough! No Bev is now into PAIN! I decided to buy a stability Ball.. For those of you who don't know what that is. It is a huge ball that you use to help you exercise...I do mean MEGA ball. You sit on it..Balancing yourself. Which works all of your muscles... Now the first challenge is to get the ball inflated! The manufactures give you a little foot pump to do this. I am here to tell you that if you ONLY use this to pump this ball up.... You are going to get a lot of foot action going with this one... IT took me forever to pump the darn thing! I had to rest my foot...several times. My foot remind you...... I pumped and I pumped and I pumped more.. It took me 40 minutes of pumping my foot back and forth..Back and forth to get this completely inflated! Forget about doing any exercises on the dam thing my foot and leg (yes only one) are too tired! I decided to let myself have a little break.....Drink a diet coke..... Turn on the TV..... And just look at this monstrous thing..... So after awhile I decided to take out the instruction booklet. Where I find a BIG warning label... USAGE OF THIS STABILITE BALL INCORRECTLY COULD CAUSE PERSONAL DAMAGE. It's kidding right? Now people, I know American is suing everyone like crazy. ....But please tell me. What the hell could possible happen to you from exercising on a ball...? I don't know... maybe it will blow up....and you will fly to the ceiling? Not my ass. If this thing blows. I know my ass will be flat on the floor..Forget the ride to the top... It wouldn't happen...I laugh off the warning... I have convinced myself it's strictly for looks... trust me. The floor is not that far way from the top of this ball... I don't think I will kill my self if I fall off of it!

So after reading the little instruction booklet... I decided to give it a whirl! I mean come on.... I'm not even as high as the coffee table...it doesn't look dangerous!

So I sit on the ball...bounce a little...I can feel it...muscles working... so I do a couple of the exercises...I'm feeling good about this... I feel a little of the muscle movement... so I decided to do sit ups on the ball... Target my stomach and abs...so with my bum sitting firmly on top of the ball... I slide slightly down the ball..... As instructed in the booklet and I get a rocking motion going. I start bouncing back and forth. ....Back and forth.... doing setups. Now I feel it ...it feels good. I can see how this will help...

THEN IT HAPPENED! Girls let me tell you. It all happened so fast I wasn't sure just what the heck happened.... But the next thing I knew I fell of the dam ball. It flew in the air...hitting my picture on the wall....knocking it off the hook completely.! Shattering the glass as it hit the table underneath it...I was in slow motion...as my body fell forward.... I hit the coffee table. Making the cobalt blue crystal bowl fall to the floor.... which made the other table fall over sending the cobalt blue crystal vase....crashing to floor .... now I hit my head as I am going down on the now fallen coffee table...knocking it a good one...as the blood gushes from my forehead...I look up in time to see that damn ball ready to bounce on top of me...in the head...now as I am laying there ...blood coming from my forehead... I laugh.... I laugh cause I am so glad that no one else is here to come and see what a fool I look like.... I laugh cause I just know that somewhere. Some little man is going to POP out of NOWHERE and say...SEE??? YOU SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE WARNING!!!! People die from that ball...so ladies...if you decided that you want to inflict pain to your self by buying a new piece of exercise equipment...PLEASE...PLEASE... READ the WARNINGS! AND PAY ATTENTION TO THEM... They really are there for a purpose...! Have a great day...the doctor said the stitches would come out in 10 days!

I have to get something for this headache!
