  Using an exercise ball for strength and fitness may be a relatively new concept, but it is not just another fitness fad. The ball has been used extensively in rehabilitation and physiotherapy for more than 30 years. It is now popular in gyms, for personal training and for home programmes. Sporting clubs and trainers recognize its value for injury prevention, sport-specific taining and improved athletic performance. Basic exercise ball principles, combined with strength conditioning, provide a good workout, arguably better than other more expensive, cumbersome or complicated routines and equipment. This book is a comprehensive guide to working out with an exercise ball. It provides effective exercise techniques for strength training, back health and injury prevention. This book is for those seeking muscle tone and definition but who also want a stronger, healthier, injury-free body. With easy to follow instructions and clear photographs demonstrating how to carry out the exercises, this book provides everything you need to know about getting the most out of your exercise ball.
