I have nice, pink, firm balls. They're a bit big for my tastes, though. I don't play with them often. I do walk with them in my hands with Leslie, though. I don't like to use them because they get sweaty.

I prefer hand weights.

And I think that's the "dirtiest" thing I've ever written on a public forum. lol But it's all 100% true!

I found a good use for balls in bed. I put them between my thighs and squeeze them when laying down watching tv. Not trying to talk dirty. It made my inner thighs really sore.

I have a set of one-pounders and set of 1 kg balls.

I use them a lot - as a Chi ball in the Caribbean Workout chi ball segments (they're on Sculpt That Body, A New You, and Workout on the Go) and also the Australian ChiBall DVDs, as Pilates balls in Stott's Amazing Tone and Bernadette's Giorgi's Powerball Sculpt, and as light weights for cardio workouts.

Once you get the hang of using them as Pilates balls, you can add them to other Pilates workouts.

I wouldn't be without my balls!

I could really use a set of balls like that...

I only have one heavy, big ball. (6 pound medicine ball)

Or, "My balls are blue and dusty."

I used to have a pair of pink balls, but I gave them to Goodwill. I never used them.

I have a pair of lopsided balls...a 4 lb pink one & a 3 lb blue one. They are soft & squooshie. I sometimes walk tossing one of my balls from one hand to the other for some oblique work. I've taken them to the beach with friends & we toss my balls to each other. I can also put my ball behind one knee on all fours for butt work...like Karen Voight's Great Weighted Workout.

This thread CRACKS me up.
