Does anybody know how many calories are burned per 30 mins with a Balance ball workout? Maybe the same as pilates?

    Hard to say for certain, but I think your instincts are probably good about the calorie burn being similar to pilates.

    Depends on what you are doing on the ball. If you are working light and doing Pilates type moves, then yeah, its about the same. But if you do like I do and bounce around like a lunatic on it, its more like aerobics. I do a lot of kickboxing and aerobics moves while bouncing on the ball. It takes the impact out of the workout for sore joints and still jacks the heart rate up.

    It's more of a pilates style workout. Thank you
