We’re going to look at a little stability ball workout today.
Exercise balls — also known as physioballs, Swiss balls, or fit balls — are large, vinyl balls you can use to strengthen and stretch your body, improving core stability and balance.
“I named the exercise ball the one piece of essential equipment for fitness,” says Jonathan Ross, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) 2006 personal trainer of the year. “Everyone should own or work with one,” says Ross… “It’s incredibly versatile, it doesn’t take up much space, and it’s a very low investment.” You can’t get a better bang for your exercise-equipment buck, he says…
“I never get bored with the exercise ball,” says Ross. “It keeps me from ever having to repeat the same workout over and over. “There’s no finish line when using the ball,” he says. “There’s always another level, always a way to make an exercise harder.”
You will need a stability ball and ideally a mat for this class.
