I often recommend it for the beginner and the advanced user in many 'core' exercises. Add this ball to almost any exercise will almost triple the difficulty level. --------------------------- <strong>@Strong One, Thanks for your input! -Mark</strong> A bazillion and one uses for the physioball (I somehow always refer to it as a swiss ball).

Many of Coach Al's runner-core exercises uses the ball. Can be very challenging! My favorite is the spinal twist on the ball. I grunt and groan all the way to each side... --------------------------------- <strong>@FitMom, Great for core exercises indeed. -Mark</strong> Yes, I love the physio ball.

I find it helps my core strength having to balance on my back while I use the hand weights. http://sparkpeople.com/resource/exercises.asp?exercise=45 Sparkpeople has demos of many exercises using the ball. ----------------------------- <strong>@Diana the Scale Junkie, Great input!

I think I just don't have enough balance! :) Maybe once I get myself into better shape I will try one again. Right now mine sits in the corner of my basement sad and alone.
