If it sells, it sells

While on an 8 hour train ride, I had some time to look at recent research in exercise. I found one article that vindicates a personal bias of mine, so I thought I'd share.

A group from California State University found there's no difference in muscle activation between using a standard bench and using a Swiss ball. Every time I see someone rolling around on one of these Swiss balls, I shake my head. Now I have real reason to be against them. To me Swiss balls are one of those fads people buy into, with the advertised notion that the ball is somehow "better" than a real bench. In my mind Swiss balls are on the same level Shake Weights. Speak of the devil, it seems fitting to leave you with this:
