Swiss Exercise Stability Balls
Swiss balls are inflatable lightweight vinyl balls of various sizes and compressibility. They are often called the 'Swiss Ball' based on their origin.
Uses
Swiss exercise balls are commonly employed in physical therapy and athletic conditioning settings to enhance core stability, by providing an unstable base on which to perform exercises. The number exercises you will be able to do with a swiss ball is only limited by your imagination. They provide a great variation to the many other core stability exercises that you can do in the gym.
A variation of the Swiss Ball is the BOSU ball.
