Unicycle - A Killer Ab Workout!
Alright I mentioned in an earlier post that unicycling might be an *ab hack*.
Well I took my kids to a unicycling sort-of class today and had the opportunity to jump on myself.
Actually I jumped on a unicycle with training wheels (4 of them!) and even riding that misnomer, for only about two minutes, activated my abs to the point where I can still feel it a little 12 hours later. (I did have some problems trying to turn the dang thing!) I'm definitely tempted to give this doohickey some more consideration.
It was 20+ kids from our homeschool group. Here's the demo video from their website:
Thankfully, being mid-December, they have a nice indoor space too!
The guy who started this business has a great story.
He had Crohn's disease something fierce - surgical removal of much of his large intestine...
I didn't get the full story, but apparently he started unicycling and this fitness kick brought back his health - relieving him of the 23 pills a day he had to take.
We'll be back to his place soon for another session. I may come back a bit bruised as there's NO WAY I'll wear a helmet (or kneepads!).
