Abstract: A portable exercise ball-and-stick apparatus includes a base having an upper surface with a centrally-located concave spherical region located within the upper surface, a ball able to be located in the centrally-located concave spherical region of the base and a rod affixed to the ball for freely moving the ball within the centrally-located concave spherical region of the base. Preferably, the includes an additional concave spherical region having a spike centrally located in the additional concave spherical region with the spike extending vertically from a central region of the additional concave spherical region for receiving in a complementary slot situated longitudinally and on a side of the opposite from which the rod extends from said ball for when the exercise apparatus is not being used. Preferably, the rod includes a hand grip at the end of the rod distal to the ball with the hand grip being able to rotate or swivel relative to the rod.
