Advantages: STRENGTHEN CORE STABILITY MUSCLES
Disadvantages: NONE

...will be giving you a workout without even realising you are doing it.. Tucking in the pelvis and pressing the belly button into the spine is one of the secrets of correct positioning. Because the ball puts you in an unstable position you automatically use your stabilising muscles to stay balanced. By using the ball regularly you will soon learn to balance on it by lying over it. These balls can then be used to do a variety of exercising such as abdominal crunches, weights and arm strengthning.
