Notes:  Except for the addition of my bosu ball, I did not use any alternate exercises.  I did the Plow as best as I could, though, with less control than Zuzka and I couldn't get my legs all the way back as you're supposed to.  My V's didn't look so great, but I was a little leery to do these with my nausea issues.  Anyway, it was only a total of 10 for the whole workout and I feel fine - no nausea.

So I'm very happy.  I don't know if working on various trigger points in my lower back and abs are helping, but if they are, I'll take it.  Just testing this and I'm not going to go out and do a bunch of lying ab exercises to test this out.
