Home Elliptical Machines

A primary benefit of exercising with an exercise ball as opposed to exercising directly on a hard flat surface is that the body responds to the instability of the ball to remain balanced engaging many more muscles to do so. Those muscles become stronger over time to keep balance. Most frequently the core body muscles – the abdominal muscles and back muscles – are the focus of exercise ball fitness programs.

An exercise ball is a great addition to your home gym and can be a great cool down and stretching exercise after you have finished running on your home elliptical machine. Or step it up a notch! Using an exercise ball as part of a fitness program can include a wide range of difficulty levels each requiring support from the back and stomach muscles that help firm up the trunk muscles in the body. Whether you are new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, exercise balls will enhance your workout giving you best results.

I recommend the first exercise ball below because of the anti-burst features but any of them will do. Some come with a pump or a video which is well worth it!
