Another one on Stability!!

Srability Exercise
The Advantage Exercising on a Stability Ball is you get "more Bang for your Buck"

When perform exercises on the ball your core muscles and other stabilizer muscles are always active. They are active because the ball is an unstable surface, and in order for it to remain steady, your body must contract hundreds of different muscles to stabilize the ball.

For example, if you are doing push-ups on the stability ball, you are not only working your chest and triceps, your core, shoulder stabilizers, obliques, and even more muscles are active to stabilize the ball.

This not only means you will make your body stronger and more stable, you will also burn more calories than you would if you did the exercises using a bench or the floor instead of the ball.
