Do you own an exercise ball?

At first I didn't like sitting on those exercise balls. Especially because when I first tried it I was studying. I felt the fact that I was sitting on a ball distracted me too much. Fast forward a few months later...we hire a new employee. He brings his big exercise ball in to sit on. I mock him for some time (I've known him for years), but when he needs computer help, I have to sit on it to work at his desk. I love it now. That's right...I love another mans balls.>> ^JiggaJonson:

Love the deftly sarcastic rhetoric here.
I wonder if it still counts if people sit on balls...
Not THOSE kinds of balls you perverts!!!
"But Jigga, you're the one who posted the link?!" -Random sifter
"Shut up bitch!" SLAP
Now as I was saying, ahem, I sit on a ball at least once a day for as long as I can stand it. Stability balls are a great way for me to get a little something out of sitting as often as I do. Basically the way it works is you're constantly being thrown slightly off balance. That imbalance forces you to use muscles in your abs and butt that would normally be doing nothing.
I know it's not largely significant (a 2008 study showed it only increased calories burned by about 6%, comparable to standing) but while sitting on the ball I frequently try to lean back to lounge the way I would in a chair and my body is consistently surprised that I jsut tricked it into doing a sit-up of sorts (although sometimes the body rebels and I fall off) :-).
Still no 6-pack, but every little bit helps.

Exercise ball as landing gear, clever Germans.

That was pretty good.

Scarlett Johanssen Has my vote ! The look on Jessica Biels face whilst pounding her pelvis into the exercise ball was pretty funny.

Toss-up between the human trebuchet maze game and the crickets and exercise ball, double shot.

*pop*

Exercise balls do that...

I saw a guy on 60 minutes who was doing arm curls on an exercise ball, the thing broke and so did his arm... In 17 places.

When they first introduced the feature I was able to do that, but then one time a couple of months ago I tried it and it wouldn't work, so I thought they disabled that aspect. Hmm. Oh well, if it happens again I'll give it another try.
