How to Use a Ball for a Chair

Exercise balls have many uses allowing you to perform a number of strengthening exercises such as ab crunches, leg exercises, and stretches.

Since the ball has no backing and requires balancing, muscles are required to work to hold the body steady. Proper positioning and posture is important for proper use as a chair.
