Benefits Of Using An Exercise Ball
Excellent tool to build stability: The ball rolls around easily, so core strength and balance are required to keep it still. The challenge of keeping the ball still makes the ball an excellent tool to teach stability and rehabilitation.
Great tool to help you master good posture: When you sit on a ball, you're forced to sit up with good posture because you have nothing to lean back on. Also, because the ball rolls around, it keeps you on your toes and keeps your body moving, which help prevent the stiffness and back pain that you can get from being too sedentary.
An exercise ball aims to strengthen all of the muscles in the abs and back including the rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, internal/external obliques and the erector spinae.
Using a ball can give your workout a little more variety and extra challenge.
Initially the ball was supposedly developed by a physical therapist in Europe to provide injured patients some aerobic conditioning. The therapist put patients on the ball and had them bounce. Eureka the patients got a great workout without impacting their injuries.
