In this short video I demonstrate crunches on the exercise ball. Using a ball instead of just lying on the floor requires the use of more muscles and will give better results. Watch the entire video because the most important comment is at the very end.

Rock-A-Bye Back Pain
In this short video, I discuss using an exercise ball to begin strengthening your core and reduce back pain. Doing home exercises as recommended by your chiropractor will actually help save you time and money in the long run.
The links below show what size is needed based on your height. I would recommend a "burst resistant" ball just in case it does get punctured. It won't stop all punctures, but it will slowly deflate instead of instantly dumping you on the floor.
Valeo Body Ball 55cm 5 Feet 0 Inches - 5 Feet 3 Inches (Burst Resistant)
Valeo Burst Resistant 65cm Body Ball (Green)
Valeo Body Ball 75cm 6 Feet 1 Inches - 6 Feet 8 Inches (Burst Resistant)
