I got the balance ball for my birthday and have been using it every day! I want to be able to workout at home because I don't want to have to pay for gym memberships when I feel I don't go enough to make it worthwhile. Also, I use the balance ball when I'm at my computer so I can be a little more active by rolling on it, twisting on it and doing sit-ups and use the dumbells on it while waiting for things to load. 
I just push the computer chair off to the side and my cats make use of it. I love it because they are closer and easier to reach now and I just love petting them. They seem to generally like it too and they patiently wait their turn to blog but enjoy watching me. Normally, just one comes at a time but over the weekend, both of them shared the chair! So this is the added benefit of my Balance ball.I have also used it while watching a fitness show on FitTV that was a real workout. That is a good station for fitness because they have different trainers and a wide variety of exercises so I don't get bored doing the same things all the time, which really isn't good anyhow. With my balance ball also came a big poster with exercises targeting different areas. I did the legs and hips. I think I will get a lot of use out of this so it was worth the money. Those sessions with a live trainers are expensive and so are gym memberships if you don't go at least three times a week!
I highly recommend the balance ball! What exercise equipment do you especially like?

I use my treadmill. I don't go for the club memberships either. I like my privacy right here at home.
Have a terrific day. :)
What a smart idea. I never would have even thought to sit on the balance ball while at the computer.
I too am not a fan of going to gyms. There is just something unpleasant about them, but I loooooooooooooove swimming and since we don't have a pool, we use the one at 24 hour fitness. That's my equipment of choice anyway.... a large swimming pool :)
I'm one of those weird people who love to work out. I'm not a fan of the balance ball. I'm a treadmill weight person.
Love the cats.

Every time I buy a piece of equipment I use it for a bit then it ends up catching all my junk.
We have a balance ball but I don't use it. I do enjoy doing workouts with our Wii though.
Manny and Spunky Doodle are so cute using your computer chair!
Hi Karen,
Thanks for stopping by the new blog. I agree that this a very clean layout. It’s simple and easy on the eyes. The first layout I chose had some corrupted coding that I could not fix which is why I removed it.
Thank you for updating your blogroll. I plan to close the other site in a few days. I will have Blogger forward all inquiries over here, which will make the transition easier for all.
Thank you Karen.
