I suppose they work, but you'd get just as good if not better results without it. (specifically the ab workout)

Focus on good form and working the muscles correctly and save yourself $20.

Actually, I think it works BETTER than traditional core workouts! The thing with the ball is, not only does it assist in toning up your abs, but helps with balance, and posture. Like someone else said, if you have back pain, just sit on the ball while you're on the computer or something, it really does help!!

And mine was only $12. Best workout item I've ever bought!

I love my ball! And I have some killer DVD workouts that use it. Here's where I got them:

Tracie Long was in many of the older videos from The FIRM, and these new workouts she's designed are even better.

I do this great ab workout with my exercise ball. You like down and squeeze the ball with your legs, then do a crunch with it. So you're lifting your shoulders and your legs . . . it works out your lower abs really well . . .

I tried this, and you're right, it really works the lower abs!! Thanks!
