[Nfb-krafters-korner] stability balls

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

To my understanding, there is some sand in it to help it from roling over.  I also think your weight helps it to stay in one place.  People do things with their hands and bounce on the ball.  Your bottom sourt of sinks into the ball a bit, so there is not any pressure on your spine, like in a chair.  
I am sure others can describe it better.  It takes pressure of like disks.

I just am not getting this.  I can't understand how stable it would be sitting on a ball. or how comfortable it would be.[especially knitting on  it] Do you have something to hang on to?  or is it just  balance?

Hi,
My Walmart ball is about ten years old. I use it regularly  and it is 
working fine. It cost thirteen dollars and came with a pump.   Now, todays balls 
might not be as good I can't predict how long a new ball  will last. But mine has served me well. And i ain't so  little.
