Loved how my arms and back felt after my workout early in the week. Used the 8 lb medicine ball to do a variety of exercises this a.m. I like the way particular muscles respond to being put in load position (position + weight (optional)) and then using very small movements (both directions) to work the muscle further. Callanetics (that old blast from the past) uses such a load and then small movement dynamic. You will feel it, as it’s a great way to fatigue the muscle quickly. More importantly, (I think), because the circular motions are controlled and are a fine muscle movement, more minor muscle groups are engaged.
I also worked my leg muscles by lifting straight out, heel as high as it could go and then doing small circles.
I find these exercises to be very effective and centering. It feels good to incorporate more strength training.
As I sit here typing, I can already feel my muscles responding.
