I never know what to do when I'm home, so I have to go to a gym to workout. Need instruction!! I like them. They're great for ab work, legs and even arms. Hold it behind you with both arms, keeping your arms straight. The ball will be about at your butt level. And then do tiny squeezes. You'll feel it in the back of your arms. Works that wobbly part that we all hate! There's so many things you can do with it, I'm just not good at explaining through a post! -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01
