first of all you want your ball firm, but with some give and when you sit on it your legs should be parallel to the floor and you knees should not be higher or lower than your hips

lay back on the ball so your lower back is on the ball an feet planted on the floor – hands behind head on top of each other (don’t lace the fingers) and keep elbows out – exhale and pull the belly button into the spine as you "crunch" up and inhale as you lower

in the same position – as you crunch up twist your left elbow to right side to work the obliques lower and then do right elbow to left side

for the back – place the ball under the front of your hips with legs straight out behind you and toes on floor – place hands under chin and lift – hold for 3 counts and lower – repeat

try 3 sets of 20 in each position

like I said – there are tons of different exercises you can do on the ball
