As I had nothing better to do this afternoon, I got my exercise ball out of it's box and inflated it and (yet again) tried the various exercise positions you're supposed to be able to do. Whilst I can (sort of) do most of them, I find it extremely hard to actually stay on top of the ball. Is there a knack to this or am I doomed to failure?

the whole benefit of the balls is that use your muscles to balance as well doing the exercise you are doing.

Fo example sits up on the floor, just use the abs, but on the ball they use the abs and the muscles near your hips.

So after a while you will build muscle strength and balancing is a doddle.

But how long will this take? It gets rather tedious keep falling off. To be honest, I've had more exercise blowing the thing up than I've had doing situps and the like.

If it takes that long it's no wonder it keeps being deflated and put back in its box then!
