I'm seeing a lot of that paper plate! I've done a few trials of those, based on the pictures, to see how they fly with my knees. Those and the sit-stands might require some modification for me.

Is there a benefit to doing a wall squat with the ball between you and the wall, as opposed to just doing it on the wall? I've done them both ways ... it's awkward to get the ball in position and hold weights in each hand.

They all look so great in these photos!

They look great, but nah, I'm not turned on at all. Traditional lower body exercises such as Cathe's weight work don't do well for my body type or my knees; I'm glad I wasn't tempted to pre-order.

Castella, I find that doing the wall squat with the ball is more comfortable than doing it against the wall; it allows you to keep your natural lordotic curves and also engages the core.

I'm happy that I can finally use the Gliding discs that have been gathering dust on my shelf.

Yes, they're definitely getting me excited (and glad that I decided to pre-order after all). I also like using the ball against the wall for leg exercises and being able to use my gliding discs.

Well, I was excited about it before but this seals the deal

I love wall squats! And I, too, am glad I can finally use my gliding discs for something. The cycle two leg workout looks particularly good.
