Today for my 43, I pulled out a piece of equipment that I forgot I even had (and I have no idea where it came from).
It is a Bally disc. Kind-of cool because the disc actually spins so you have to hold your core tight if you want to stay still.
The black part is the spinning part. I decided to just play around with this and see what all I could do with it.
First, I stood on it and twisted. I did 3 sets of 43 twists.

I’m not sure if it would be possible for me to look any goofier than I do in that demo!!!
Then I decided to stand on the disk and do side-bicep curls (43, of course).
The bands aren’t really very long and they are sort-of tight so this was a pretty good exercise. I decided to try one more 43 – alternate front raises.
This last 43 (on each side!!!) was the hardest!! Gotta keep working on my shoulders!!!
Overall, I’m not sure how often I will pull this disc out – judging by the dust I had to clean off of it this time, not very often!!! It was fun to mess around and do some different things for my 43 today so the disc has some value!!!
After I finished up the 43s of the day, I did Les Mills Combat – HIIT Plyo. This is a great HIIT work-out. It is only 30 minutes but it is super high intensity. Lots of jumping squats, plyo lunges and burpees!!! I also did the Core Attack work-out again because I like to torture myself challenge myself!
Yesterday was a fun girl’s day out (we even had a glass of wine with our lunch) – shopping really works up an appetite!!! The best part of the day was coming home at dinner time to the yummy meal that Chris had all ready!!
Last night, Chris and I watched Pitch Perfect using Apple TV. That Apple TV is handy – all you need is a remote – no DVD player required!!! (The DVD has to be preloaded and….blah, blah, blah…..but that is behind the scenes work on Chris’ part!!!). Chris admitted he thought the movie was going to be hokey but he ended up enjoying it as much as I did!!!

My favorite type of movie – funny with a happy ending – a true feel-good movie.
Happy Saturday!
