I'm sorry? You really don't? Ah well, the exercycle it is then. You Kiwi's are so darn sensible! <BR/><BR/>Hi Appleton--yes I imagine space could be a problem, especially if there's any chance one might go flying off it occasionally. However, given your description of the rubber ball torture... er, exercise, I think I'd prefer the rock'em sock'em cowboy toy, even if it sent my flying through the window every now and then.<BR/><BR/>Hi anonymous!<BR/>Another person who would prefer not to tear something or possibly break their limbs while exercising?

The Tiny-Apartment Dwellers among us have no place to keep it. A friend of mine got onto another system to develop core strength. You've probably heard of it -- body rolling. A lean, grey-haired guru gal named Yamuna invented it. You take an inflated rubber ball and slowly roll over it on your spine while lying on the floor. I tried it once, and it was surprisingly effortful. My friend swears by it. Probably not as much fun as Ride 'Em Cowpoke, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-38716969329794834302007-06-25T14:04:00.000-04:002007-06-25T14:04:00.000-04:00I'm sticking to the exercyle, the treamill and the...I'm sticking to the exercyle, the treamill and the rowing machine.

They make it almost impossible to add for the new version of Blogger, so after much wasted time on the net I've found something else which looks potentially better. Thanks to you, there's now a little bookmark icon at the end of every post that works with pretty much every social bookmarking service.
