I love this thing! For those that aren't familiar, the balance ball is this huge ball that you incorporate into your strength training. An example would be here
The concept is that it requires conditioning and use of your core muscles to be able to balance while using this ball. You can do abs, upper body and lower body exercises with it.
The bonus is that pretty much any exericse you do, requires use of your abs to maintain balance. So the abs really get a good workout! I have this particular ball that I linked to above ... it comes with a huge wall chart showing a good 15 - 20 beginning exercises.
I would definitely recommend the balance ball to anyone that wants a good strength training workout at home, but doesn't want to fool with weights, a bench, and a slew of dumb bells!

I haven't tried push ups with them, have you?
