You can do many exercises with dumbells and the ball. -------------- Scales are for dead weight: We are not dead yet! Still trying to find out how to do the Hollywood Free Press. Ivan Montreal Canada

My experience has been that if you properly input your fitness goals and such that they are a huge help in knowing what excercises you should do. -------------- "Do the right Things" and "Do Things Right". You will succeed.
