Stability Ball

[fitgrl]

Hi,
I just recently bought a ball and after a few different workouts I can't find a workout that I really enjoy using the ball with. I don't get that burn much in my abs or lower body when I use the ball except for a few of the Cathe workouts and even then I don't really enjoy using it. I have checked my form over and over and I'm sure I doing it right. Any suggestions on some any really hard ball workouts that really make you feel it?
Thanks
Michelle

I've seen a couple of stability ball videos at collagevideo.com, the only one I bought was target specifics on the ball with Katalin Zamiar. Don't spend your money on that one. It is gathering dust somewhere in my house. I actually bought the ball for Cathe videos and it really works for me. Seriously if you're not feeling the burn with Cathe you must be doing something wrong. Are you sure the size of your ball is the correct one for your height? The ball might be too small or too big for you and even if it is the correct size it takes a while to get used to it. Another thing is that not everybody likes working out with stability balls. If you don't like it you don't have to use it. And you save money by not buying videos you're not going to use. I like the fact that Cathe always has one of the girls exercising without it cause there are some stability exercises that are really hard to master and you can do some exercises with the ball, some without it, or modify them all. I'd say give it time to see if you can learn to like it if not stick with Cathe and you can always follow the modifications.

The best stability ball workouts I've done are the new Tracie Long workouts. Try Core Foundations. I promise you will be using that ball in very new ways. And you will feel it and see the difference.

Just to let you know the other Stability Ball workouts I tried.

Quick Fix (Stability Ball with Keli Roberts) Beginner - Intermediate
Kathy Smith Stability Ball (Have not viewed yet)
Karen Voight (BLT) - Beginner - Intermediate (But I liked it. Comes with the Circuit training DVD)

I like my Fitball Upper Body (but not the Fitball Lower Body). I also like my Spri Abs on the Ball.
