Just been doing some ab workouts with Swiss ball and i've never had such a workout wow what a great little tool anyone else got one ??
I've got a couple of Italian balls. I think they're similar to swiss balls, only bigger and hairier. LOL :lickish:
mine are of Irish and Hungarian decent, but were made in Canada.
Ice Cold, you should also try some ab straps someday for lower abs.
Great bit of kit but you don't own it until you can stand on it for 10 minutes. :)Quote:

They have them at the gym I go to. I've only tried doing ab exercises on them, but they give a much better workout that just doind crunches or situps on the floor.

You keep your legs straight and move your hips up and down, it hits the abs pretty good and doesn't bother the back.
This is definitly not what I expected to read. I thought i was going to come on here and help this guy with his bruised ego after every one called him a fucking pussy. I love the swiss ball. I use it all the time but at my boxing gym we have three half inflated ones that look like a practical joke.Quote:

This is a great tool. people who train have used it and found that to be true. so what if oprah uses one, I am sure she doesn't do pikes ( which is what it sounds like canvasback is talking about ) with them. Those things will kick your ass.
That kinda defeats the object of balancing on a ball and using your core.Quote:
