Balancing and exercising device

A balancing and exercising device for an individual, comprising:

• a. a large semi flexible ball being slightly compressible when under pressure and with a bottom portion which is pivotable in any direction;
• b. a generally elongated rectangular shaped rigid platform having a top side, a bottom side, and a central opening therethrough;
• and
• c. a pair of small ball-shaped rigid members mounted on said bottom side of said platform and located adjacent to and on opposite sides of said central opening for securing said semi flexible ball between them, said platform placed on top of said semi flexible ball such that said central opening accommodates a top portion of said semi flexible ball, where said semi flexible ball is below said top side of said platform, and thereby allows the platform to be independently pivoted front-to-back up to a 25.degree. angle and vice versa and side-to-side up to a 50.degree. angle, where the diameter of said central opening is smaller than the diameter of said semi flexible ball;
• d. whereby when the individual stands on said platform, the individual has the ability to balance in numerous directions, which thereby provides muscle, tendon, and joint stretching movements.
