Here a video (German, sorry) showing how it's used (and gives a good idea of size)

It also happens to be one of my most love-hated exercises ever. I do it religiously on a daily basis. My hate for it is paltry in comparison with the benefits I got out of it.
Oh my. I struggle to do that on flat ground. I'm sure I've seen those before. I'll take a closer look though.
My first few attempts were pathetic.
Currently: balancing while brushing my teeth is no problem. I would have laughed you out of the room had you told me that after my first attempts.
I also had seriously sore muscles in my lower legs

Never mind - can’t enter half inches lol1 -

Still, congrats on not shrinking/maybe even gaining a little
I'm all for rounding up.
(Actually, I updated my profile with 5'2 even though it hurts to be back in the 'overweight' category because of it

Yeah - I sneaked in with a 29.3 post-cruise BMI at the doctors office - clothes weight and all - so the 1/2” helped there at least!2 -

I especially like that she edited for clarity on that green thingy post.
Sorry @cmriverside I really thought those little balance pillow thingies were common knowledge. I live in Switzerland and don't always know what you guys over yonder the big pond might find normal or just plain strange
See my previous post for a short video showing how it's used. :-)
Ah! Thanks, cool.
Well I haven't stepped foot in a gym in ten years, so maybe it is common...I just walk on trails outdoors and get the same workout.
I've seen Bosu Balls in gyms, but not the balance pillows.

I'm still the same height I was 35 years ago, and assume I have the yoga to thank for that.1

She still wants me to do the bone density test to be sure everything’s good - you know 60 and everything2

Yeah I’m not too concerned - I’ve done a good amount of weight bearing excercise over the years (including hauling around an extra 100+ lbs) and my mom is 82 and she’s pretty good in that regard too.0 -
Yep, it was deeply upsetting to be told I was 5'2", down from the 5'4" of my younger years. The lower healthy weight range put my goal a bit further away, but my knees will benefit. My gunboat feet (US women's size 10) haven't shrunk proportionately.1

2 inches seems like a lot, especially since I'm not even 40 yet. At this rate I'll wind up sub-5ft
Too bad your feet didn't shrink. I don't have that problem, but upthread a bit the lack of cute shoes for larger sizes was discussed. You have my sympathy.4 -
See, now that's a raw deal for you.spinnerdell wrote: »Yep, it was deeply upsetting to be told I was 5'2", down from the 5'4" of my younger years.

...I guess the upside is that you can walk more easily on sand & snow?
