"Why Exercise Balls Are The Wonder Exercise Equipment"
Exercise balls are the latest invention in exercise equipments. These balls catch every one's fancy because of their shape and attractive colors. However, the real benefit of exercise balls, introduced by a group of Swiss medical therapists, is as a substitute of support during exercise.
An Exercise Ball is good for all exercise groups such as core stability, rehabilitation exercises and cardiovascular workouts.
Workouts with the balls strengthen and tone all major muscles in the body. The soft texture of the ball makes it an ideal choice for Yoga positions, using dumbbells for muscle toning, or working on heavy-duty weight training equipment.
The advantage of Exercise balls is that they are durable and maintains its shape under pressure. The documentation with the ball provides test load figures for how much weight the exercise ball will hold. The advantage of exercise balls is, they provide soft yet firm support that does not harm your body.
Exercise balls come in various colors and finishes. You can get a ball matching your room's texture. They are simple to store and you can even roll them under your bed or table. While you are not exercising with your ball, you can use it for playing with kids. Soft and big balls will not do any harm to kids. The ball game will provide extra exercise indirectly.
Exercise Balls : Medical Equipment In Exercise
Originally used in medical therapy, exercise ball is used to support the body while exercising. These balls provide support to
the body when you do a specific exercise in a specific position and need to maintain the balance. Most exercise balls are made of burst proof latex or other materials and are safe to use.
Many yoga postures and muscle toning exercise can be done only with the help of support. Exercise balls are quite useful for these postures. Exercise balls introduce an element of stability to the exercise that you would not normally get in the floor exercise. Your body responds automatically to the perceived instability to keep balanced on the exercise ball. This helps in strengthening the muscles that are not actively participating in exercise.
Exercise Balls- Effective For Physiotherapy
An exercise ball is also useful for physiotherapy treatment. These balls helps to get rid of backache and spinal disorders. The small range movement and adjustment of balance of the spine induced by exercising with exercise ball help in reducing back pain.
The Swiss ball exercise for people with back pain provide them a simple way to restore movements after a back pain episode. It also results in improved muscle strength, greater flexibility and wide range of motion of the spine during the treatment.
