Thanks for the tips, Jane! From what you said, I definitely think I was doing them correctly. I think my core is pretty strong from previous strength training I've been doing. I really liked doing crunches on the ball. It felt a lot more comfortable to me than crunches on the floor. The ball didn't budge either backward or forward or side to side. I was quite impressed with myself and the ability to not wobble all over the place. It was so solid feeling... I'm a little concerned about the deadlifts and lunges, though. I'm thinking I'll just use the bar alone (45# is plenty for right now) and body weight for lunges until I get less wobbly feeling.
