    I used to use it for sit ups. They're also a great replacement for your office chair - bounce all day burning calories! I'd search youtube for a workout.

    If you are talking about the large exercise balls, I've done sit ups on them. I use a small 2lb medicin ball in a cardio workout and I feel a HUGE difference in my workout. I love using it!!!!

    The big ball is so much fun :) There are workouts you can do (I actually have a ball and video at home), that is a cardio workout AND a strength training workout all in one. Its fun, different from the normal, and a great workout :) I use it for sit-ups/crunches too, as it is better for your back.

    if you stand with your back against the wall, and the ball inbetween, you can do squats with or without weights.

    Squats, push-ups, sit ups, arms and legs....I just bought one this weekend and it came with a booklet of different exercises.

    I mainly do situps on mine. Mine came with an instructuion sheet shwoing me all different kinds of things to do with it! A very good investment! When I was pregnant I used it to sit on to watch TV too!
