Even though an exercise ball is basically just a big, round ball, it can be used properly for a lot of <strong>great</strong> exercises, or it can be used improperly, which could lead to limited results or even injury. As with all things health and fitness, the more you know, the better off you are! Richard,

It's impotant to read all the instructions on how to inflate and use them but we are all guilty of reading instructions only when we have to but in this case it should be done so we can get maximum benifit from them.

I have also done the exercise that you described, and in addition to stretching out the back, the ball exercises help to strengthen it as well. Awesome stuff! Alan,

I also like to use the exercise ball for stretching before getting down to a workout. My back tends to give me trouble, so I'm always looking for ways to warm it up before exercise. One of my moves is to sit on the ball with my hands behind my neck for support. Then I walk my feet out until my upper back is lying on the ball. There are other techniques to stretch other muscles, but that's one I use for my back. Cheers, Alan Great article.

The exercise ball is certainly a very effective piece of equipment that I recommend highly, but at the same time, it is a BALL, which means that it rolls! Great point about keeping it on the safe side, Erica! Erica,

One think you forgot to mention is the danger of not using the exercise ball correctly. Improper body positioning can put undue strain on some muscles. I like your words on the "Mind Muscle Link". Focusing on the muscles you're training is often underrated. Your quote "Large or "toned" muscles won't do you much good if you can't consciously as well as unconsciously control them" is very true. Keep up the good work Quality article Aaron. One think you forgot to mention is the danger of not using the exercise ball correctly. Improper body positioning can put undue strain on some muscles.
