Coach Nicole has created an easy-to-follow upper body workout that you can do anywhere, with a pair of dumbbells and a stability ball. All it takes is 8 minutes!
The balls are made with a thicker "rubber" than a beach ball and will take quite a bit of abuse. I really don't think you will pop it if you do as Nichole has done in the video. I weight more than 200 pounds at the moment and have no fear of using one.
Besides, they don't cost that much so if you did pop it, you're not out much and you're already so close to the floor, you probably wouldn't even get a bruse. Be strong. You can do it if you want to.

My husband keeps offering to buy me an exercise ball but I am afraid I will pop it. Anyone have problems with that? He thinks it can hold up to maybe 200 lbs. I am less than that but very leery.

A lot of people may think these workouts are not for hardcore weight trainers, but I am a fitness nut, and I do Coach Nicole's upper body sculpts every other morning before work with an ab workout also, I switch videos so I am not repeating over and over, and my arms are more sculpted now than they ever were with heavy weight training at the gym. I love Coach Nicole's work outs, they really do get results if you hang in there!!! I share them on Pinterest as well

I just started this program. I don't have a ball and even if I did I don't think at 66 I would feel safe from falling off. So I modified it. You laid on your stomach, I laid on my bed with my breast hanging over the corner of the bed. I also used the bed for the arm pushups. The rest I sat In a chair. I have COPD, exercising is difficult for me. But I can do this.
