Having a ball with fitness

Those big blue balls are gaining prominence everywhere these days. I have seen a few in my office and of course almost everyone working in a gym is using one as their primary chair. These balls have been around for a few years but I have to think that many people are only using them as a chair and not as a piece of fitness equipment.

I thought just in case someone reading this post is thinking of what they could do to use their fitness ball better that I can point people in some kind of healthy direction.

Exercises on the ball – Has nine great exercises with pictures that will help you get a full body workout on the fitness ball

Bally Fitness has another nine exercises with a picture of the beginning and of the end of each fitness ball based exercise

And my personal favorite. The Mayo Clinic has a nice slide show with exercises for the fitness ball that also shows muscles used and a little write up of what the exercise does. 11 slides of fitness ball exercises in total.
