Proof:

I was just doing a stretch called Swiss Ball Lower Back Stretch (recommended by Pfitzinger) after an upper body strength session. When trying to roll back to the normal position I have no idea what happened, but the f....ng ball rolled away under my back and I hit the wall of the room with the back of my head causing such a hard bang that my neighbour got alarmed (it's a separate house).

Well, fortunately I did not hit the actual brick wall but there is a second wall made of some sort of DM or so and and tehre is a layer of glass wool in between. But mates, the next time I will out on the web cam and post it on Youtube X'D

I am tired? That's besides the point. It's simply that I just have to."

There is really only one good use for a swiss ball.

Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?

Is a swiss ball like a wiffle ball?

Depends on the curves.

Speaking of curves and stretching...

The tangents are moot.

Set the bar low. Crawl under it.

When I started running a year ago, a friend told me that his strategy for races was to find a cute girl running at the right pace and just stay behind her the entire race "taking in the scenery". Unfortunately for me all the women are faster than me Sad
