Last night I was talking with one of my online friends and she said she had been using an exercise ball, I am curious, what are the benefits of using one of these? And what exactly do you do with it?

Also, I'm thinking of purchasing some hand weights, just small ones to start with! Would 3 pound weights do me good for awhile??

I'm going to recommend another site .... www.stumptuous.com . Click on 'iron' on the homepage. Krista has workouts with just dumbells and with things you have around home and has tips for using a ball.

This site was recommended to me several times here and I love it!
