I do alot of core work on a swiss ball it's a very good tool.. I have different sizes fo swiss balls, my wife is a PT ( physical therapist) so gets discounts on equipment..

Good for you, keep it up bro.

My wife and I follow a gunter core video that's 45 minutes long, and by the end I'm soaked with sweat..

I can do most lighter weigth training on it.. you need to balance alot on it so it incorporates the abs in most everything you do.

my girlfriend loves working out on the swiss ball...but it's not my cup of tea though. 270lb guy on a swiss ball, you're asking for an accident to happen, lol
