Answers:
You can various things such as;
push ups :when you do this, the further forward you are on the ball the harder it is!. start on an easier level and make sure that 1!.you can feel the burn! 2!. you are straight and aren't wobbling everywhere!.
trunk curls:when you do these, when you go to lift up go up to the sky!. don't curl because it hurts your back and your neck!.again, make sure you are straight and not wobbling!.
leg raises:turn your head,facing the side to which your raised leg is stretched!. this will strengthen the legs and mobilize the thoracic spine!.
hip extension: lay down and relax back!.put your legs on the ball!. lay your hands beside you and lift up your hip area!.ensure that your entire spine is level with the floor!.you should feel the burn in the thigh/leg area!.!.
My exercise ball came with a list of exercises!. Also make sure you stretch to warm up and to warm down other wise your muscles will be very sore!. Also make sure that the ball is pumped up enough to be firm!. It keeps you stable!Also with these exercises make sure that your feet are pointing straight!. It keeps you from wobbling every where!. It stablizes you more!.
