very nice and informative blog on exercise ball and pregnancy .
I do this workout called workoutbuddyx.com. they offer a mix of daily workuts like yoga, core, total body interval, i skip the high intensity kickboxing ones though. It has a free/lite version, so that's a big plus when money is tight.
