I'm new to working out with "the ball" and have some questions.
In Intensity Series, what size ball are you all using? I am about 5'4" and have a 55cm ball which was what was recommended for my height. The balls you all are using look bigger to me? Wasn't sure how tall you guys are and if maybe I should get a bigger one.
I have trouble staying on the ball on some of the exercises. Does this just take practice or improve with increasing strength? In doing the hamstring exercises in PLB, I CAN'T stay up there. If I do these on a step " 4 risers" high, are they as effective? In doing the inner thigh exercises where you pull the ball in toward your body, I am pressing so hard to keep my feet on the ball that that my shins are feeling all the work? Do I just need to keep trying or does it seem I am doing something wrong or need a bigger ball??? Thanks, sorry for so many questions in one post!
