LOL!!! Thanks so much for posting about these exercises, Marni. I'm going to try the "bug" tomorrow. Hopefully, I can skip the cramping part & go straight to collapsing

Catrin, like you, I've gotten to the point where I can do long planks & about a ga-jillion crunches without ever really feeling the workout. If the minor stiffness in my core this morning is any indication, these ball planks are fast, efficient & much more effective than the old standard core workouts.
