Exercise balls basically offer a challenge to our body and make it work against an unstable surface. They work directly on your back, abs and chest while preventing you from slipping away. Feel free to experiment and try out different exercises like free weights, crunches, biceps curls, etc.
Hard as it may be to believe, exercise can accommodate just about every type of workout like:
1) Yoga and Pilates- The ball is the best possible surface for trying out yoga poses and even gentle stretching without exerting the body. You can sit on them, close your eyes and do breathing exercises or perform seated postures.
2) Abdomen workout: You can perform a whole variety of crunches, twists, curls and other ab-centric exercise that would be further challenged by your alignment on the ball. It may be a bit hard initially, but that’s exactly what it’s meant to be!
3) Television workout: Yes, this is a mode of workout too and most of us would have absolutely no problem doing that 24/7! On a serious note, you can just sit on the ball and enjoy television shows while simultaneously working on your posture. For a variation, try lifting up one foot of the ground and you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the results.

4) Weight lifting: From television, it’s time to take the exercise ball straight to the gym where you can use it as a proper bench to work out all parts of your body including legs, thighs and quads. Make sure you do a lot of compound workouts as opposed o isolated ones.
