I've got a couple of Italian balls. I think they're similar to swiss balls, only bigger and hairier. LOL

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.

By the way, blow it up first.

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 can do so much with the swiss ball, almost anything really. If you get used to it, it's good for bench pressing and loads of other free weigth routines. But NOT until you reall know how to use it.

Yeh it's hard to balance at first, I usually wedge my feet under the bar that goes along the bottom of the floor in stretching area in the gym, just makes sure you don't fall backwards and stay in the right position.

I went to my chiropractor and told him I was having trouble with my back in my boxing class when doing ab exercises. He showed me an ab exercise with the swiss ball where you lie on it face down and work the ball to where it's under the arches of your feet while your upper body is in a pushup position. 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.
This is why I like this forum best of all. there is no one saying that "back in the day we used to let mules kick us in the stomach you little bitch" . Just try posting this thread on eastside.
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.
