BUTT, I Need To Exercise My Butt!

I don't know about a bucking bouncing ball, Irish, but I DO know that when I have back problems (often), riding my bike works out the kinks.

At the very start, perhaps the first mile or two, it's somewhat uncomfortable, but all of a sudden the pain is gone and I can continue for many miles.

I just finished work and am about to go for a ride now. And my back started acting up this morning ... only a day after I learned that a dear friend was having back problems. (I wonder if they're communicable?)

ya wanna have fun and work yer butt? go bowling!! or.. buy a wii and bol in yer livingroom.. it has the same affect. after a few days of wii-ing, everyone in this house cept for the sprite were hobbling around with wii-butt cause it seriously works them glutimus maximus. no clue on them exercise balls tho, sorry.

Boy, Irish I can really identify with you on this one. I had actually lost about 30 pounds before I moved up here with my daughter and I was so proud of myself. Now I have been up here for about six months and have gained 50 pounds. I was wondering why I was feeling so out of breath all of a sudden. Since I have a bad back too there is a lot of exercise that I can't do. even riding a stationary bike will pull my back out of place. Walking was about the only thing I could do without it causing too much damage, like you said, but now I've damaged my knee somehow and walking is very painful. In fact they are talking about knee surgery. So let me know if you find something that we can do while staying off our feet and that would be low impact and I will join you in an exercise club.

I'd be afraid of falling off!! That would hurt your back more. I have one of those balls. I did try to work on one, sort of... I kept rolling off. That wasn't fun, since I have a hard time getting back up!! After so many of those, I gave up. The dogs like pushing it around though. Have you tried dancing? Just sticking some music on and moving like you want to? Nobody's watching, so don't worry! Be happy! (Don't hit!)

Don't have a clue what you are talking about. You're a pear. You have a pear butt. If you don't want to have a pear butt, don't be a pear.

Lol, I don't know if it exercises your butt, but they are great for situps. They kind of give you a little push... you'll do more situps then you ever thought you could.

Good luck with the weight loss... back pain is the pits.

Those exercise balls are okay. I think the stair climber is the best way to work your butt. It not only gives you a good lower body workout, but it gives you some real good cardio if you wanna loose a few pounds. But if you don't wanna spend money on a stair climber, or a gym membership, the exercise ball would be good along with a few excersise tapes or dvd's. I don't think the ball alone would help with toning up that much. It's mostly for your abbs.

I go to dance classes and it works for the body all over and you get so much enjoyment without the pain of a bike

I'm not really sure what the exercise balls do. Cardio is my guess. That will work if you're looking to get results by the time your in your 50s. Do squats. You don't need any weights, just do the squats.

Hey, Irish.
What's with all the butt discussions lately. On the "Hot" discussions list, there were two discussions talking about relaxing their butts. I went to "Today's Top" and there was another discussion about butts.
Is this a new mylot trend?...or maybe mylotters are starting to complain about their sore butts from sittin' at the computer too much. lol. I like those bouncy butt balls! They're fun to bounce on and I'm sure they help you lose a lot of calories. BUTT, please don't bounce and type or your discussions might end up somewhat like this:

He y m yname i sIr ish Fr ndl y! It 's nic e t o mee t yyou.

I just don't recommend it. Heehee.
