The Swiss ball is a safe and effective way to train your upper body, core and lower body and it can be used at any age. 

Here is a great routine for juniors to perform three times a week that will start to develop incredible stability and strength.  One note of caution - make sure the ball fits.  When sitting on a Swiss ball your thighs should be parallel to the floor.  Most kids will need a 45 cm ball.

If any of these exercises are too hard to perform, just skip that exercise and try it again after a few weeks.  You will be amazed how fast these exercises become simple to perform.  As always, if there is any pain, stop immediately.
