I just read a paper that indicates that stability balls are not effective. Here is part of the conclusion
"Unstable surace training has been shown in the literature to be fully contraindicated for human performance, especially if used in conjunction with dynamic movements. Society will have to accept that achieving physical fitness requires hard work with the basic tenets of exercise and nutrition."
My favorite idea...
"Those who would like to improve core strength and spinal stability should perform traditional, functional resistance training exercises, such as Olympic lifts (ex. power cleans), squats and deadlifts.
I'll have to find the link and put it up.
