BUTT, I Need To Exercise My Butt! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people12 months ago

Yea man, I really need to exercise my Butt! Got your attention? No kidding!

I'm looking at one of those exercise balls. Do any of you have and USE one of those? I really need something fun that will also cushion my bad back. I know that getting some weight off will help with my back. I'm not a skinny fanatic but I just need some toning and to lose about 30 pounds.

What I need is something fun that I don't get bored with. I've seen some use those exercise balls as computer chairs. Bounce and Type! Woohooo! What do you think? Would this work my legs and butt while cushioning my back?

Hey rish i had a walker that i bought to trim my thighs and boy did that work my butt i tell you! I lost more there than anywhere else it was pretty good for not putting strain anywhere else as i have arthritis so i have to be careful with my knees and whatnot. Not sure if it will put strain on your back but it was a similar motion to sking without the hands so i doubt it. I overused it though and it fell apart so now i'm on the lookout for a new one.

ps the whole time i was reading this i was singing in my head "i liiiiike big butts and i can not lie no other brother can deny....." lmao


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

I have one of those strider things, but no room for it in the house. Also everything hurts my back. I have a congenital problem as well as several ruptured discs. I was trying to use my strider, the other day, and had to lean to one side. LOL! When my back gets bad, like this, I'm cantilevered to the left and walk with a limp. It's real attractive, kinda like Igor!

Everyone alway suggests yoga but it's so freakin BORING! Ya know?

Yea...I like that song. LOL!


myLot reputation of 95/100. mands61123 (840)   ranked 706 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

oh owch you'll have to get some or those toner shorts that give off the electrical impulses and stimulate your arse muscles lmao then you can sit down rest your back but still work your butt. I have some somewhere but to be honest it took me that long to get it them and made me so out of breath i got a workout before i'd even started lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. Loverbear (1768)   ranked 1,474 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

I keep thinking about those things that send electrical impulses...what happens when you sweat? You could have fried "butt" or a wienie roast! LOL

I don't know about the bouncy balls, I would worry about them with a back problem. I have ruptured and herniated disks in my neck so any kind of exercise that causes any kind of impact are out of the question.

Your song reminds me of the roller things that were shown in old sit coms and old movies that showed people sitting on them. It was like a bunch of rolling pins rotating on a spindle and "rolling" your butt off. lol

Before you try some of this stuff, you should consult your doctor. Especially since you have a back problem.

My thought about yoga...I could see me getting into some of the positions and they would have to call the paramedics to get me undone! LOL I am not limber, never have been limber and never will be limber. Plus I have too many bulges to fit into a yoga outfit and I can't sit and "hum" and wait for good vibes to come along. Also, with the stretching, my muscles would holler "NO WAY", retaliate and I would end up in knots. Of course taking a yoga class with me wouldn't be boring...


myLot reputation of 95/100. mands61123 (840)   ranked 706 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

LMAO!!! It's like in the area where I live, we have serious power surges. I saw an ad for the chairs that lift the person up so standing is easier. I could see using one here when we have a power surge...person in orbit!!! Don't get me wrong, I don't laugh at people with disabilities...I have them myself but some really strange thoughts go through my mind. I sure wouldn't want to live there if I were me!! lol


myLot reputation of 95/100. mands61123 (840)   ranked 706 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

ha ha ha sounds awesome i'm gonna get one for xmas weeeeeeeeeeee i think orbit would be pretty cool plus i've always wanted to fly and those pants will protect my arse when i skid back to earth

If you want to do that then go buy a Bouncy Ball that kids bounce on with the handle. Remember those in the 80's? Or, where you not alive in the 80's? Well, they are cheaper and do the same thing! Also, the twister. You stand or sit on this square board and twist back and forth. Their are a lot of old toy that exercise you and don't cost a fortune. Try them first! The Hula Hoop is great too. And, so is hop stock you jump stretch and you can have fun outside. Have fun!


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

Nope, I have severe back problems and an twisting might put me in traction. LOL! Every time I try something I end up at the chiropractor. I'd love to be able to do something really fun and great. Walking is about the only thing that doesn't hurt me really badly, when my back gets into fits. A Hula Hoop? LOL! I'd be in the hospital. Sigh.............

I use the ball mostly for abs. There's a whole other bunch of exercises I'm supposed to be doing for my back but I'm not doing them right now...


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

I have a really good dvd for my back, but it's so BORING! LOL! Yoga type stuff. I need something fun. Strengthening my abs is exactly what I need to help my back. Good to know, thanks.


myLot reputation of 95/100. dawnald (10373)   ranked 368 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

I've got lots of fun stuff, reading, TV, video games. Not a one of them strengthens my abs though. Pity... w00t

That works your stomach muscles more than your back as you use them for balance. I had one and its ok, not great but ok. Something that will make your butt and legs better is:you can stand or sit, but it has to be to the side, raise your leg slowly, hold for 5 and then lower. Or you can get one of those things that does it for you, you ca get ones that are like a pair of long shorts, they do your thighs and butt at the same time and you just have to wear them. They electricute you "gently", but they are good, plus they are very alluring!


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

Working my abs is exactly what will help my back. So my back is not doing all of the support. Alluring electric shorts? What you been smoking?

I think those balls are good for lots of body parts.

How is your back today, btw?


Hmmmm, second discussion about balls in the past 8 hours. Is this going to be a ballsy kind of week?*L*


Muuuaaaaahhhhhhh!

It's some better, can't do much right now without making it worse. I want a bouncy ball. LOL! How are you?


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2744)   ranked 617 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

Freezing and getting frustrated. Every time I try to add a certain key element into my picture, the program shuts down. I have been working on it since about 6:30 this morning, and it has happened like 10 times. It's just on that one part, too.

Oh well, never mind, he's not having a good day, either.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

ARGH! You got any redos done yet? How frustrating. Wonder why it's doing that?


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2744)   ranked 617 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

No, no completed redo's yet.

Do you still have the one I sent the other day? He said it looked kind of perverted. I had to go back in and look at it. I redid the chair because it really did look bad. Not on purpose, mind you, that's just the way it ended up.*L*


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

PERVERTED? What does he mean "perverted", does he mean "distorted"? LOL! I don't see any perversion at all. It might be a bit distorted............what does he mean? glareLOL!


myLot reputation of 93/100. thebohemianheart (2744)   ranked 617 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

Look at the back of the chair, right by her head, the pinkish part of it. It looks kind of phallic.

Oh please, lil Ms prim don't see it, surely it's not there! I don't see it...really! LOL! He's dirty minded, ain't he? LOL!

No, I saw it, too!*L*

They may be good for exercising but I don't see how they could possibly be all that good for your back sad Just think of all the fun typos you could make though while bouncing and typing lol


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

The gals are saying they exercise your abs, which helps to support your back, so that may be something that helps me. Yea....and if I didn't correct them maybe all the weirdos would get bored with me and leave my star alone. glareMy friends could just try to make up new words with my mistakes. w00t


myLot reputation of 86/100. fwidman (5389)   ranked 806 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

Then we would have to try and figure out what you're saying? Gee, I already have someone on my friends list that I have to do that with lol I'm sure she is typing English, sometimes lol

Aww, I know all about weight back pain, if I gain even three pounds my back starts to go.

I used to have an exercise ball.. it had little nubs all over it. I didn't exercise with it much, I more or less laid on it and went Ahhhhh. It was a lovely shade of purple.

Exercise? Something fun that you don't get bored with? Do I really need to say what that would be:P.


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

Looks like I might be getting a purple one too. I found a professional one that you can use all day. Not that I would but I think I might use it for my office chair and work my legs some. LOL! As fwid said, ya'll can try to interpret my typing mistakes. hee hee

8. myLot reputation of 98/100. plunketear (1251)   ranked 1,424 out of 35,455 in people   12 months ago

If you decide to use a ball IF, i'd recommend one that is ribbed so there is a lesser chance of it slipping.
Next, I would not look upon it as a weight-reduction device. At least initially. aamof you might gain some weight but will be in the right places. Why? Cuz muscle weighs more than any fat you might start to lose. Where? Your core muscles. And these are the ones that will help strengthen your bad back. The thing is tho....you need to start off VERY gradually, checking to ensure that you are doing only the most basic of movements that factor in a bad back and your symptoms. As it turns out, a ball is quite good for strenthening core muscles. BUT! It is very easy to overdo it when you first start out. I can't emphasize enough the importance of learning the movements that strengthen your core muscles, but with the knowledge of your particular back troubles. The you build gradually. Very gradually. As your core muscles become stronger, then not only will your back be better, but you will little by little be able to make more and more use of the ball as you expand your exercises.



myLot reputation of 98/100. plunketear (1251)   ranked 1,424 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

and make sure you get the correct diameter for your height.

i checked one source, but you check too to see if these figures jive..

ball dia your height
55 cm - 4'11" - 5'4"
65 cm - 5'5" - 5'11"
75 cm - 6'0" - 6' 7" ya right...:)


myLot reputation of 92/100. Irishfrndly65 (7474)   ranked 488 out of 35,455 in people  12 months ago

I was just looking at sites on how to buy one and what I should get. LOL! Great minds think alike. I hate to order something and then find I have the wrong thing. I've found a 65 mm professional one for about $28 and a beginners dvd for about $7.

Believe me, I know not to over do. I'm not worried about weight. I'm a curvy gal and don't want to look like a wee teenage boy. wink I also don't want to look like China that wrestler chick that could bench press Andre the Giant! LOL! EEeewwwww!

I know when I feel good and that's all I'm going for and strengthening my back and stomach area. You're a sweetie for looking at that for me plunkmadear!

I walk 2 miles a day in 30 mins. and I recently started walking 3 miles a day, in 45 mins. its the only thing I've found that I haven't gotten bored with. I had a treadmill, but I got bored with it after awhile, so I gave it to my mom..lol.
