Hi Jen, thanks for stopping by my log.
Do you mean the INstability ball?
It's okay for ab stuff. I don't like to do anything using weights with it, too hard for me to concentrate on form when I am trying to keep myself stable at the same time. Plus, I've got short stumpy legs and even the smallest ball seems too big.
Luckily, everything it's used for with weights in the OPT workouts can easily be replaced with something else. The only one I'm unsure of is the supine bridge using the ball. Gut feeling says to replace with squats, but I don't really want to do squats and DLs on the same day. I'll probably just do the bridge with the ball since no weights are involved.
