Talking Balls

Yes, I have one. It used to be in our lounge for whenever I wanted to go on it but since before Christmas it’s been deflated and put back in box ?.
I liked it and I also had a back ache last year and it helped a lot for me (backache was due to lifting wrongly not a health issue). You now reminded me to blow it up again.....not manually though ??

Ok what's a Swiss ball?

Oh it’s a brave person who heads up a thread with this!
Could have applied in some other places.......

Yes, I have one. Didn't know what to do with it until a physio gave me exercises. I now use mine semi regularly, it is very good for core work.

I agree Maw. I thought it was about someone talking rubbish!!!
You can see I'm not au fait with exercise equipment. ?

And your mind works like mine! ??

When I saw the title under Diet I had visions of a ball saying "get off you big lump"

Spinnaker that's what my scales used to say to me years ago. ???

Tut tut, Marydoll and MawB I also join the club.

I thought it was about Ed Balls who was on bbc morninglive this morning..

Ditto, lemsip!

I thought it was going to be about chocolate balls

Or balls which spoke to you and said encouraging things like 'my word, you've put on a bit in lockdown' or 'yes, your bum does look big in that'.

Off to investigate

Apparently an Italian creation from the 1960s

Oh yes, I think DD's got one.

Like a space hopper but without ears.

Where did you find that photo of me, Lisagran?

Yes, sorry, Callistemon, I should have asked you first.....

I also thought it was about Ed Balls. Never heard of a Swiss ball. It looks too much like hard work to me ?

It's fine, Lisagran, I don't mind at all.
I have put on a couple of pounds in lockdown though.

Get out your Swiss roll then, Callistemon - oops, no I mean Swiss ball.....

Don't have a swiss ball (or any other exercise ball, but I do love Rutland Skallagrigg!

I have one, was advised to get one by my physio. Very good for working the core and improving balance.

Blossoming I have a feeling I would be balancing on the floor and the Swiss ball would be elsewhere- for me it would be lethal.

I had no idea the Swiss were famous for balls. Everyday's a school day on GN.

I declined to try DD's for the same reason but I do wonder if it would help with balance problems.
