Stability ball vid. recommendation?

[Aquajock]

Hi, all! It's time to bring the stability ball into the mix, and I'd like to find out if anyone has any recommendations for a good video that incorporates the ball, especially for ab / back work.

Thanks!

Annette,

I really like the Suzanne Deason videos that came with my balance ball. The beginning video is mostly stretching & balance w/ a little ab & back work. I think the ab workout is a solid Pilates influenced workout though some posted it's too easy.

Also check out this month's Runners World for a great set of exercises using a ball. Many of those are on Deason's video.

I really like the Fitball Challenge tapes (Upper body challenge & Lower body challenge). They are endurance-type workouts and the ab work (approximately 15 minutes on each tape) is really excellent. Both are available at Collage Video.

Annette - while you're waiting for your videos to arrive, check out the Feb issue of Runner's World mag. There is an excellent article featuring a super-challenging stability ball workout. Targets ab, core, back, leg muscles. It's awesome, I've added it to my weekly routine and I'm loving it. Really challenging.
