Choosing an Exercise Ball, The "Ultimate Core Muscle Trainer"
When you have your own core muscle trainer and your own program of free
core
exercises its like having your own personal trainer at home. When
choosing
an exercise ball I recommend getting one that is used in
gyms and physical therapy clinics. They are generally more
durable and can withstand greater weights. If you are
carrying
some extra weight or if you decide to use free weights with the ball
it's worth the peace of mind and doesn't necessarily cost any more than
one you might pick up at a retail outlet. A good quality exercise ball
will say "burst resistant" so if it does puncture, the air will be let
our slowly.
The
exercise ball is the one piece of equipment that will add diversity
to your routine, functional training, and takes up very
little
room. Having your own stability ball to use with this
seemingly unlimited supply of free exercise ball exercises will put you
well on your way to your fitness goals.
Some
manufacturers claim to have designs that if punctured will let air
out slowly rather than bursting. Always check the instructions that
come with your ball such that you don't exceed its weight restriction so as to
avoid serious injury. |
