Video: Functional training: Russian twist from ExpertVillage (These are better if you hold weight in your hands while doing them)

Also medicine ball side throws, push pass style.

I love those stability balls for some of my clients. By getting off balance you hit those muscles involved in proprioception, very important for athletes of any kind.

JC Santana has put out some good stuff about training on those.

Those things can make you sore as hell the first couple times you use them for some exercises too.

I'll agree that they have their place (expecially in athletics), but I'm sure you'll agree that there are schools of thought that put waaaaaaay too much emphasis on them than they need to be.

You're right. There are a few out there that believe it's the ONLY way to train and that's not true. I think they should be used to enhance a sound strength training program.
