LOVE the ball!!!

Using my exercise ball not only helps me stretch but builds balance, strengthens body, and gives a good workout.  The exercise ball is for any fitness level from beginning to advanced.  I'm amazed how many sit ups I can do on this ball considering I can't do any on the ground! lol  Yes- I have a long way to go.  

I love to stretch on the ball to stretch out my lower back.  Another favorite is to watch TV on the ball instead of the couch. Lifting your legs and balancing on the ball is not only fun but if you do it enough, you will feel it in your abs the next day!  It's a great workout while watching TV.  

In my opinion the exercise ball is a must have! Youtube.com offers different video ideas for a TON of different ball exercises. I personally don't like the smaller balls.  Mine was a 75cm- which some will tell you I'm too short for that size (for a VERY tall person (6'3"-6'7") but I personally don't like the smaller balls.  I picked up mine at Target for under $20 and be sure to get burst resistant (Momma didn't raise no fool!)   

Also- if you have children, get them a ball!  Obviously a smaller ball depending on the age.  My teenager loves this ball and uses it a lot!!!  This is much better than sitting on the couch playing video games or watching TV.  Get those abs workin!
