What she said. Also:

*Try using it instead of a desk chair when you're at the computer. Some people really like that and find it's easier on their back than a regular chair.

*Use it instead of a weights bench, for anything like bench presses.

*Lie over it with it under your hips, wedge your feet under something sturdy, and do back hyperextensions.

*Put your hands on it, or your feet on it, while you do planks or push-ups. More instability = more work for your stabilizing muscles and core.

*Try [personal profile] laurashapiro's terrifying "dead bug" abs exercise.
