I'm glad people have responded to this thread and the interest in fitness is great. As I have mentioned before I am a personal trainer at a local hospital. I use stability balls, balance boards, bosu, and many other balance/stability equipment in my daily routines. I think before anyone takes on the challenge of this type of equipment you need to have a general conditioning phase. Try some bodyweight exercises. Push ups, pull ups, sit ups, dips, back hyperextensions, squats and lunges are all great for most beginning programs. All of these exercises can be done in different planes, and made more difficult as you progress.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask.
