The Big Blue Ball

CristalBelle Posts: 1,389 Joined: 2003/06/27	2004/02/13, 12:32 PM Hey, was wondering if anyone knows anything about those big blue rubber balls people use to work out their abs and lower back. I have heard that using them is very non-jarring, and good if you have a back injury and can't be flat on the floor. Anyone know what I am talking about??
