If you're looking for a challenge that will work on your core and help you with stability and strength, this is for you!!

Incorporating the stability ball into your usual routine will challenge your body in new ways and break up the monotony of exercises that have gone a bit stale.

Need some ideas about which exercises to use with a stability ball?
