By bouncing on the ball you'll not burn as many calories as you normally do by walking or swimming. But it'll be beneficial for your! Exercising by sitting on the ball will help you to stay in shape so it'll be easier to resume your normal workout. Try to be creative with your workout. Here are some more exercises besides bouncing: 1. Push ups with legs on the ball 2. Curl ups. Your body is on the floor, your calves on the ball. 3. If you have a dumbbells you can have a great upper body workout. Sit on the ball when lifting dumbbells and you'll use much more your core muscles. Do: Biceps curl, Lateral raise, Overhead triceps extension, Overhead press, Bend body side to side holding dumbbells on your sides. Don't forget to stretch and have fun. I wish you very fast recovery. Marcela Hello ELEANOR,
