    Stability/ balance balls

    I've just bought a stability/ balance ball, which I want to use for core exercises. I've looked on You Tube and there are thousands of different ab workout videos using the balls. Just wondering if anyone has any particular recommendations so I can narrow it down a bit?!

    Thanks
    Rachael

    luckily there was some at the time, but they have since been taken off the timetable due to lack of interest!

    The ones at my gym are all mid morning, so I have no idea who goes. I'd have thought they would have been really popular!

    I'm trying to work on my core to help with the running (and also as bikini time is looming!)
