Exercise:

14 minutes treadmill walking -- while waiting for Tom, who got held up
in traffic (It's too cold in the gym in the morning to just sit around
waiting.)

Dynamic warmup:

a. High-knees run 1 court length
b. Butt-kick run 1 length
c. Skip 1 length
d. Walk, touching foot up to outstretched hand with each step, 1
length
e. Side shuffle -- 2 lengths (one length leading with each foot)

Sprints: 5 * 2 court lengths (trying to change direction fast)

Sprint around perimeter of court, rounding corners: 2 times, once each
direction

Sprint down long side, side shuffle across, sprint down other long
side, side shuffle back to starting point: 2 times, once each
direction

10 squats on Bosu ball (with flat side on the floor)

Standing on Bosu ball, toss soccer ball back and forth with Tom while
he circles around me -- around 30 tosses

Standing on Bosu ball, holding 5 lb. dumbbells: 5 * (squat while
curling DBs, squat while doing lateral raise, squat while doing front
raise) -- You stand up between each of the moves, then do the curl or
raise as you're squatting down.

Also standing on Bosu ball, 10 shoulder presses, squatting as you do
each one. (This was hard, and I couldn't extend my arms fully.)

Tried some squats on the ball with the ball side on the floor,
standing on the flat side. This was harder; I could only do a couple
without coming off. I want to practice this.

Congratulations on the pound down. I've got to try one of the Bosu balls.
They look like fun.

They are fun! They're expensive, though, if you want your own. I
think I'll stick to playing with them at the gym.

I know Curves will never have them so I guess the only way I'll get one is
to order it. I checked them out the last time you mentioned them and
they're in the $130 price range. Hmmm....all I would need to do is eat at
home one week instead of eating out all the time
