Material required:
- A room with a door that can close
- 1 nightlight
- 2 raised platforms, 12" high
- 2 medicine balls, 27 lbs each (or heavier for added challenge)
- Plywood for inclined planes
- Optional: toys and books
Set up:
- Position the two platforms against opposite walls, approximately 5-6 feet apart. Make sure they are stable.
- Build ramps rolling off each platform with a holding space at the top for a medicine ball. Ball should be able to easily roll down the ramp; it should not remain on the platform for more than a few seconds.
- For extra difficulty, rig up a pulley system to open and close the door and allow balls to escape into the hallway
- Scatter toys/books around the room
- Plug in nightlight
- Turn off overhead light
- Close door
Workout method:
- Grab one medicine ball. Place it on the top of a ramp. Be sure to squat and use your leg muscles.
- With your core engaged, turn to the other platform and place the second ball atop its ramp.
- Lunge back to platform #1, scoop up the ball from the floor, and replace it.
- Hop over toys so you don't stub your toe
- Get distracted by hopping and allow ball #2 to escape out the door. Retrieve ball #2 and place on platform.
Reps:
- at least 100
Cool down:
- Ask your workout partner to come in and sit by one platform to hold the ball in place while you do the same for platform #2.
- Take deep cleansing breaths.
- Remain seated until the balls are no longer wiggling and are nearly asleep.
- Tiptoe out of the room.
- Pour yourself a glass of wine.
