exercise ball

[Heather]

Has anyone tried an exercise ball? They look harmless but you sure can get a workout if used correctly.

What is an exercise ball? I have never heard of them and where do you get them from?

I have tried the exercise ball and did loose a lot of weight but the mere size of the thing I just had nowhere to store it so when I moved I gave it away, I am sorry now.

I love my exercise ball. It is great to sit on while watching tv. It makes you use muscles while balancing that we don't use everyday. Really works the oblilques.

How long should it take me before I am comfortable doing these types of core exercise with an exercise ball? I never feel like I am quite getting it right. I just always feel wobbly and like I am going to roll off. And believe me that will not be a pretty sight!:)

try balancing on the ball for a while first. you can sit on it while watching tv or at a desk while on the computer. try a beginner video, there are some at my local library. yours may too.
