Exercise is becoming a growing trend among North American desi girls and I’ve noticed some guppie girls talking about it too..I’m extremely delighted to see this change. I am not sure how it is in Pakistan but when I was there.. only aunties used to go to the gyms…sit at the juice bar, gossip and go home :-). Anyways, I have been using this exercise ball (below) for past few months and I’m pretty happy with the results. Its amazing for stretching and abs. If you haven’t used it before then give it a shot…There are quite a few exercises that you can do. It takes a couple of days to get used to but it is great…in fact I’ve bought one for home and have got my mom goin on it too

Swiss ab balls. They're great and you can do so many different exercises with them too.
Is that what these are called??Swiss ab exercise balls??
Where can I get a sample exercise plan with the ball??
I am assuming its used mainly for abs, is it?
Ira, yes they are known as Swiss Ab Balls........but also called exercise balls too. You can get them at any store that sells gym equipment or sports stores.
You should get a little booklet with the ball with diagrams of the different exercises, some come with videos too but you can buy them separately.
Mainly used for toning abs but can also be used for other muscles groups when combined with free weights.
i have seen it being used heavily for back.. apparently a very effective and safe way to do stimulate lower back muscles.. and dont worry if you fall a couple of times doing it.. it will only make u blaance better next time.. :)
If i buy one i will just sit on it and roll around

Ok I know it's bad but just reading this subject's title made me laugh!
desi (guy or girl) and excersize !?
Simply unheard of!
Honestly our society is so ignorant of the importance of eating right and excersizing.. not as some sort of fad ... but for the sake of
living a healthy life.
Everyone likes to think just fat people need to watch what they eat and excersize regularly.
And hour or at least half every single day makes all the difference in the world!!
i'll try to score with the ball, a goal ofcourse :p
yeh exercising has become a part of life now..liek eating, breathing and sleeping...can't live without it..it get sme started and keeps me goin...
A day without exercise and I feel sluggish all day!
