The Secret of Using a Yoga Ball for Muscle Tone

Yoga balls are all the rage these days, and there is good reason for it. A yoga ball forces your stabilizer muscles, like your abs, to work. With typical weight machines, you are able to isolate a muscle group without including your abs or other smaller muscle groups.

Start with these 5 great exercises on the Yoga Ball to begin strengthening your muscle tone and looking even better overall.
