I’m not a big fan of home workout equipment (or the gym, or workouts in general), but I do have an exercise ball. I’ve also discovered I like using it as a chair. I sit a lot and besides being more comfortable than a traditional chair, there’s some residual benefit to those core muscle groups as you shift around and balance on it. (There is such a thing as a BalanceBall Chair – Bryce and Jayda’s chiropractor uses one and loves it – but I’m OK with the less-formal version.).

Want to pump up your workout a little more? Try staying balanced on the ball while playing tug with a pair of Shelties who are determined to see you roll you off on your a**!!
