What is an exercise ball good for?
The gymnastics ball is characterised by its enormous flexibility of use. It can be used both statically and dynamically.
You can use it as a seat at your desk instead of a conventional office chair and will soon notice an improvement in your posture. When sitting healthily with an exercise ball without additional equipment, you train your sense of balance as well as maintaining an upright posture. However, if this option is too unstable for you, you can use a ball tray or other stabiliser to secure the ball and continue to benefit from the ergonomic advantages of your new exercise ball.
In fitness training, the use of an exercise ball allows for a range of new and intensive exercises. In the supine position, it can be used to train the abdominal muscles and at the same time stimulate many other muscles to maintain balance. For this reason, the exercise ball is not only good for targeted training of individual muscles. By wobbling and rolling, it also stimulates the entire musculature, challenges your flexibility and tones your entire body. It also offers a variety of exercises for the back muscles, so that your spine is strengthened and mobilised.
Properties and features
If you want to buy an exercise ball, you should look at various features. Firstly, there are half and full exercise balls. The former are equipped with a flat plastic disc and can therefore be used for mobility training on the floor. Round ones are suitable for sitting but also for balance exercises and explicit muscle exercises. You should also look for a material that is less susceptible to damage. These are labelled "anti-burst", which certifies that they are particularly durable and stable. Probably the most important variable when buying is the size of the exercise ball. You will find detailed instructions below to help you find the perfect size for your individual body size.
Which exercise ball for which size?
If you are looking for an exercise ball for a child up to 140 cm tall, you should choose the smallest models with a diameter of 42 cm.
