More Stability ball stretching exercises tips here.

Don't forget...Caution is of the most importance when doing stretching exercises and using the stability ball. Because its unstable surface means the risk of accident or injuries is always present. In most cases, a common sense approach is best.

Make sure that you are in an open space, away from any potential hazards, in case of a fall. The environment can be made even safer by using burst-resistant balls, which reduce the risk of injury since they deflate slowly, rather than collapse quickly, if punctured.

Also...Make sure that you are able to handle the stabilization demands of any exercise. At no time should any exercise cause pain or pose a high risk of falling. If you are unable to do the exercise with good form, then its too advance.

Find appropriate modifications so that you can experience a sense of challenge with out struggle.

keep this in mind:


* Move slowly to a point of moderate tension and hold for 10 to 30 seconds. For optimal results, perform multiple repetitions. For example, two stretches held for 30 seconds each are preferred to one stretch held for 60 seconds.

* Feel the stretch in the muscles not the joints.

* Breath deeply and continuously; avoid breath holding.

* Release tension throughout your body while focusing on a particular muscle. For example, avoid clenching your jaw or hunching your shoulders as you perform stretches.
