Home Series Gym Ball
A Home Series Gym Ball is one of the most versatile exercise aids available. Why do they work? The main benefit of exercising with a gym ball , also known as a fitness ball or Swiss ball, is that the body responds to the instability of the ball to remain balanced, creating a greater activation of core muscles, which can result in improved back and spine health, core stability, posture and muscle balance. Even simply sitting on the ball activates the stabiliser muscles and helps you connect with your centre of gravity.
Ideal for:
- Stretching
- Supporting lunges, squats and hamstring exercises
- Chest presses, tricep and bicep work
- Core training
- Can be incorporated into a whole range of workouts
What is the best size for me?
Generally speaking height recommendations are as follows;
- 145 – 160cm – Use 55cm Ball
- 160 -180cm – Use 65cm Ball
- 180 – 200cm – Use 75cm Ball
Recommended height ranges vary slightly among gym ball manufacturers, but as a good rule of thumb: Sit on the ball and look at your hips and knees. If they’re at right angles with the floor, you’re good to go.
