Advantages: Fun but Effective! Disadvantages: None
...to pump up for the first time and this can take quite a while. Fortunately once they are inflated all you have to do is top up the air once in a while.
The ball should be inflated to the point where it becomes firm but still has some 'give' to it. This is necesary to allow the ball to contour to your body's shape.
COST

The average cost of a gym ball is about £10 - £15. I was lucky and got mine in the sale from Superdrug for £3 including pump. If you are willing to shop around I think you could pick one up quite cheaply.

...I have been bowling now for about 3 years and curretnly average around the 175 mark. I play for Nottinghamshire and Lenton. For those of you who dont know, in bowling , bowlers usualy carry 2 or more balls.........one of these is a "spare" ball. For pickingup spares.

...The gym ball, swiss ball, fitness ball, stability ball or whatever other name it comes under, seems to have taken the fitness world by storm. These balls can be purchased in most sports shops, department stores, tv shopping channels, chemists and even supermarkets. They cost between £5 and £15, come with their own pump and usually an instruction leaflet or DVD.
Fitness balls come in a variety of sizes, 42, 45, 55, 65 and 75cms and you should select your size depending on your height. For safety reasons, the rubber material has been designed to deflate slowly in the event of unexpected damage, so the ball should not burst suddenly, leaving the user in a heap on the floor.
