These balls enable you to develop your core strength. I attend a half hour abs class on a few occassions a week, where the Sissel exercise ball (also referred to as the swiss ball) is put into practice. There are many variations on how to use this - regular situps using the ball to support your lower back, push ups - making them more challening by not only having your legs raised, but having to stablise yourself as well. We also use them to kneel on and maintain an upright position - harder than you might imagine. The plank is a good little number to try with an inverted sit up as not only does it utilise your core, but also gives your arms a workout. It can be alot of fun learning how versatile this ball can be, as people tend to fall off (not injuring themselves) into giggles!

Summary: Definately recommended for anyone wanting to improve their core strength
