iCG,I’ve just started today. It’s very comfortable and since I’ve sort of stopped using the ball for exercise on a regular basis (I’m currently infatuated with my new pullup bar — as seen on TV! — and kettle bell routine), I feel like it was going to waste. No back pain, but I’ve been working my core for a while now. I’d say start with a half-hour and work up.

Mrs. B., mine does have to be hidden when the children are in residence.

TBD, hadn’t heard of the bosu ball. But I don’t belong to a gym. It sounds interesting. Core strength and balance will take you far! Even while dancing.

Turling- well done! What a wonderful problem to have. The thought of having to replace my wardrobe is what keeps me fighting the good fight.

Mrs. PvE, Atheneus, TBD, think how much concentration it takes not to spill a martini! I hadn’t thought of keeping this out for extra seating at a drinks party, though…. hmmmm… too 70’s?

Oh, darn. I just deflated the one Mr. Blandings has kept in our bedroom for a year and never used. I kept worrying that the boys would roll right down the stair with it as they think it is the most hilarious toy. I might need to get it back out.

I’ll try it out. How long have you been doing this? Any back pain?

I’ve been using a ball for years, calisthenics, stretches…it helps a bad back.
