  1. What with this new trend in lifting weights while trying to balance
    oneself on one of those stupid balls or discs ??

  2. I think the theory is that buy involving small "stabilizing" muscles,you
    burn more calories per w/out??

    I bought one even though I was skeptical about it helping my back.
    However>> I'm glad to report that I was wrong. I followed the stretching
    routines recommended & it really did help my back.
    Nothing else did,............ chiropractic care,orthopedic care, & I
    even tried accupuncture.

    Lately just for grins I've done dumbbell fly's on it,as well as
    pull-overs & it really does give you a different hit. Better or not? I
    don't know, but it adds verity, if nothing else.

    If you have one available try it ........let us know what you think!

    Would that be hard core training?

    Or soft core training?

    I think they have a place in some people's training, although I don't
    use them regularly in mine.

    If you want to have fun with balance, just do stuff on one leg for a
    while - deadlift, squat, military press. All loads of fun, I assure
    you. 🙂
