I mean crunches on an exercise ball is kinds what you do when you're down to a pretty low body fat percentage right?
wow let me count the ways this post is ignorant and offensive
I started doing ball crunches because they were voted #2 most effective ab exercises by a major college...
my current situation... before my Dr. shut me down due to a shoulder injury I was at 20 miles per day and up to 30 miles on some rides... plus running 4-5 miles... and riding my mt. bike for fun... plus using my bikes as my only means of transportation (so I was riding 30-40 miles per day)
just because I posted this in the clyde/athena section are you assuming that I am as wide as I am tall? FYI I stand 6'6" and 260# I am by no means a "big fat guy" just so happens even if I were at single digit body fat I will still be a clyde
according to the jist of your post I shouldn't do any type of exercise because I have too high of body fat %... no weight training no crunches no nothing because I am not skinny enough to see the results?
I was under the informed opinion from this cycling thread that core strength is a key component to fitting/correct riding posture I was trying to aid mine by strengthening mine... what I don't have a low enough body fat percentage to ride, as per your post I should walk since I am probably too fat to be on a bike
please tell me what kind of exercises i should be doing since you seem to know exactly what kind of shape i am in...
rumrunn6, you should be banned for making offensive statements... because your post offended me
