How to log fitness ball workout?

How does one log a workout with a fitness ball? I realize it won't burn a lot of calories but just want to keep track for my own records. I tired looking up under fitness ball, exercise ball, and balance ball. I tried crunches but didn't get results there either. Help?

    It's more strengthening exercising I'm guessing.....

    I did find an crunches under strength. I am so used to every thing being listed under cardio that I didn't check that. Thanks!!

    2020 and I'm still not finding it in strength or cardio. Exercise database is limited.

    If you're doing calisthenics on it (like roll-outs, ball-passes, etc.), then log it as calisthenics. If you're just sitting on it . . . sitting is really not a calorie burning exercise, even on a stability ball. ;)
