How to Use an Exercise Ball
Don’t dismiss the Swiss ball just because it looks like a kid’s toy. The Swiss ball—also called stability ball, fitness ball, balance ball, or exercise ball—creates an unstable surface, which requires your core muscles to work harder to keep you balanced, says Jessica Matthews, an exercise physiologist for the American Council on Exercise. Fire up your core and tone your whole body with the following 25 Swiss ball exercises.
Quick Tip: Stability balls come in different sizes. Select a ball that is appropriate for your height: Under 5’ = 45cm ball; 5’1”-5’ 7” = 55cm ball; 5’ 8”-6’ 2” = 65cm ball; 6’ 3” and above = 75cm ball.
