Why Excercise Ball
It's simple really. The ball acts to make your body somewhat unstable. So to stay on the ball you have to tighten your legs and abs. That tightening is gives those muscles a bit of an extra workout they wouldn't get if you were working out on the floor.

For instance you can use the ball for overall abdominal training. Like you can combine that with an exercise like a crunch.
To turn the crunch into an excercise ball routine, simply drape yourself over the ball. Starting out by positioning the ball under your middle/lower back.
Cross your arms over your chest.
Draw in your abs to lift your upper torso off the ball. Point the bottom of you ribcage bottom toward your hips.
Lower and allow the abs to extend
Repeat for 12-15 reps.
