Unlike training on a stable, flat surface, the Core Stability Ball offers a round, unstable surface, so you not only train the primary muscle groups, but also your smaller stabilizing muscles. The stabilizing muscles are small, yet very important muscle groups primarily used for balance, alignment and posture. The total body ball workout is efficient, allowing you to see results quickly.

As a general rule, the exercise ball should be large enough that when you sit on it, your knees bend at a 90 degree angle. The 75cm ball is recommended for most people over 6 feet in height.
