I've done it about 1/2 the day every day for the past week. You don't really feel anything while your sitting on it, but after a few hours my core felt a wee bit tighter! I…

Motivation and exercise
So today i planned to wake up at about 6 am before work to fit in some exercise. But i just couldn't bring myself to do it and told myself i'd complete it after work.

Can anyone recommend any good work DVD's for about £20 or below (roughly $30)? I currently have Davina Super Body Workout but i've done it so many time I know all the routines.
