    :bigsmile: I would think that it does because it strengthens you core and back muscles.

    I wouldn't think it would effect your calories at all. It's more like light strength training. But I don't know for sure...

    It does work...If you keep your shoudlers back and sit up right you will feel in your abs and your back, you have to do for 30-60 mins. I don't have any exercise technique instructions either, I am sure there must be some on-line.

    I sit on mine and bounce. Then add arm work like up and down in and out and it really get my heart pumping in a 30 minute program. I don't count those calories though, I just know I have a little cushion.

    Not sure but it's sure is good for the core. I love my exercise ball and use it with Core Secrets DVD's. They're the best!!! :happy: I sometimes, even sit on it while I"m blow drying my hair. Anything, to build a strong posture is good. :happy:
