Hi! I am new to this board (have been a lurker on the healthy eating expert board for a few weeks & just found this one). Did the bean you bought at Wal-Mart come with any instruction for an exercise routine to do with it? I just bought a fitness ball (because a friend told me if I sit on it instead of a computer chair at my desk, it will help strengthen my core and improve balance. <shrug>). The bean looks like it would be better for workouts, but I still don't know of any good exercise routine to do with my fitness ball besides crunches so I don't know that I would know what exercises to do with the bean either.
