Incorporating an exercise ball into your fitness and strength training may help to improve your stability and build core strength by specifically harnessing abdominal strength.
Your balance, posture and abdominal function must work together to counteract the constant movement of the ball, boosting the overall efficiency of your workout.
As your body strives to maintain balance against the ball’s momentum, almost all muscle groups are engaged and your back is supported, benefiting your entire alignment, skeletal system, pelvic floor and flexibility. You could try kickstarting your abdominal muscles into action by arranging a training session with a physiotherapist or personal trainer.
It is important to master the correct techniques when using an exercise ball, to avoid neck strain. An exercise ball can also be incorporated into your warm up and warm down stretches and may add a fun and dynamic addition to your fitness routine.
