Getting in Shape with Bender Ball

Exercising in the summer can be a challenge. The high temperatures of the summer and higher humidity in many places, can add to the stress of exercise on the body. If care isn’t taken to drink plenty of liquids, and take frequent restful breaks, the body could react by developing heat related ailments like heat cramps, exhaustion and even heat stroke.

The dangers from heat stresses are almost nothing when exercising with the Bender Ball. First of all, it is an indoor activity which can be done in an air conditioned environment, or during the cooler hours of the day. In addition, Bender Ball exercise is not a highly stressful workout resulting in exhaustion or perspiring. In most cases ten minutes of exercise with the Bender Ball is all it takes to develop the strong, slim abs you are striving towards.

Summer is back! It is probably a good idea to make some changes in your exercise regimen to account for the hotter days. First of all, if you run, try to time your outing to the cooler parts of the day, either early morning or at night. Even when you are indoors working out with your Bender Ball, it is probably a good idea to exercise in the cooler hours of the day.

Exercise increases body temperature, and if you add to that the additional heat in the environment, you have created a stressful situation for your poor old body. Your body is programmed to stay at the perfect 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, and it does whatever it needs to  in order to maintain that inner equilibrium.

When exercising in the summer, whether it is with your Bender Ball or playing a game of basketball, tennis, or whatever your favorite outdoor sport is, it is important to remember that because of the increased ambient heat of summer, combined together with increased exercise, your body must work harder to maintain its inner temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

The body has a few mechanisms to keep cool as the heat rises, whether through climbing outdoor temperatures, or exercise, or both.  The body stays cool by increasing the circulation of blood closer to the skin so that heat is removed more readily, but this decreasing the amount of blood available to the muscles for exercise. This in turn increases the rate of the heart.  There is also more stress on the body in places where humidity is high, because perspiration, which cools the body when the moisture evaporates off the body, has a harder time evaporating in higher humidity.

I must admit that there are times that even I, the guy who is crazy about exercise, grows bored of my routine.  The Bender Ball sits in the corner for a few days, the crunchless abs are tossed aside and I just don’t have the motivation to do anything.  I’m always surprised when I get into these ruts – and even more surprised when I find a way to pull myself out.

What I try to remember, however, is that I do, eventually, always climb back out.  Life is a process and it’s not always easy to force yourself to comply with the routine you’ve established.  Sometimes, your body really does need that break.  And you can give it to yourself as long as it doesn’t turn into an extended vacation!  Just know that eventually you’ll be pulling the running shoes out, dusting off the Bender Ball and getting ready for action again.

I can’t imagine anyone being honest when saying they actually enjoying doing crunches.  Let’s face it: crunches suck.  They are tough and uncomfortable and require way too much puffing and panting.  But the results they often render make us think that it’s a case of the old adage ‘no pain, no gain’ running true.  Not so.  According to Dr. Rob Johnson with these crunches one is generally using “less of the muscles you want and more of the muscles you don’t want,” so what ends up happening is that you get painful ribs but not necessarily flatter abdominals.  That is where the Bender Method helps.  “What’s unique about the Bender Ball,” he says, “is that it will help you relax the muscles that you’re trying to avoid training and help you activate the muscles that you’re really trying to focus on.”  Now that makes much more sense than your friend trying to convince you regular crunches are fun and easy.

I usually go walking in the evenings, and then come home and do about 10 minutes of crunchless abs with my Bender Ball.  When the summer months start, however, I find it hard to go walking when it’s so hot out.  All that I really want to do is to get into a pool!  So, why not?  I’ve started changing my routine so that I’m in the pool for my exercise routine rather than sweating it out on the track.

I’ve found a few helpful articles that direct the novice swimmer to create the right program to get started.  I’m following this routine and enjoying it a great deal – and my motto to melt it off still holds, even in the pool.  Swimming is actually very good exercise and I’m enjoying using this form of exercise as a break from my normal routine.  Give it a try and see if it works for you as well!

There must be days when, no matter how dedicated you are to your exercise routine, you just cannot be bothered. Or, you are just tired, or perhaps suffering from menstrual cramps. Now, these events can hit you quite often, so do you really want to have to not exercise on all those occasions? Well, you might not have to any longer. Today, there is a shoe that can help that! Check out this crazy new invention and watch the video at: http://thegreatfitnessexperiment.blogspot.com/2010/05/does-being-on-your-period-make-you.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+TheGreatFitnessExperiment+%28The+Great+Fitness+Experiment%29

But as well, you can also find an exercise that will benefit you even if you are suffering from cramps. This is where the Bender Ball fits in. It is such a gentle exercise that you will not finish it with any pains at all; in fact, you will feel comforted and relaxed. So not only can the Bender Ball help you with mild cramping, you can also continue on your workout routine, going for the results you desire without having to stop! It’s a win-win situation!

Obviously, as a father, it’s my responsibility to set a good example for my kids. I’ve found, lately, that my exercise routine is motivating everyone else and I love this bi-product of my new exercise enthusiasm. Rather than just sitting and watching t.v. these days, I am on the floor doing crunchless abs with my Bender Ball. My kids see this and it motivates them to multi-task and to find creative ways to fit exercise into their lives.

It is also showing them that exercise is important. I know that obesity today is a massive problem in the Unites States – even among children – and I like that I’m setting a good example for my kids with my desire to melt it off, to do crunchless abs, to jump rope and more.

My oldest son even asked me recently if we could get a treadmill so that he can exercise on days when he can’t go running. Now, that’s the type of money that I like to spend! Bender Ball, crunchless abs and my exercise routine are really making an impact on my family – and that’s worth all the money in the world to me!

I’ve been very impressed with my multi-tasking abilities lately.  You know, women always say that men don’t multi-task well, and I do have to admit that this is generally true.  We tend to do one activity at a time, focusing all of our energies on that endeavor.

Bender Ball & T.V.

However, I’ve realized lately that I can really get my exercise routine in better when I multi-task.  So, now, when I watch television at night, I make sure to do crunchless abs with my Bender Ball at the same time.  When I help my son with his homework, I’ve got my jump rope out and jump while I answer his questions.

On the Go with Bender Ball & a Jump Rope

Obviously, I can’t multi-task my entire exercise routine, but I can certainly add another 20-30 minutes of exercise a day without really even feeling the impact on my time.  That’s the beauty of crunchless abs, the Bender Ball and a jump rope – they can all go along wherever I am, and they can be incorporated into any routine!

Unlike my wife and teenage daughters, I’m just not someone who is going to spend hours in a gym sweating it off.  But I do know how important exercise is.  That is why I was so excited to learn about the Bender Ball.  Bender Ball exercise is really different from any type of exercise I have encountered in the past.  There is simply no pain involved.  You get to do these crunchless abs that just melt it off really easily.  In the few weeks I have been using the Bender Ball on a regular basis, I have noticed a way trimmer me. And the best part is, I don’t have to spend all that much time doing it.  Just a few minutes each night and I feel relaxed, no pain and I see results.  What could be better?
Melt It Off Easily with the Bender Ball
So take the easy way out.  You’re not cheating.  The Bender Ball is actually good for the entire body since it works with the body, not against it (hence you end up feeling no pain).  Why fight the system (or in the case the body), when you really don’t have to?  If you are not the kind of person who is going to go to the gym on a regular basis, why waste the money getting a membership?  By using the Bender Ball at home you will find you save money, time and energy.  What a great way of getting in shape.
