Most of us have seen “body balls” lying around in community centers and most private gyms. They are big, colourful, and work the core. If you are like many people, you may even have one around the home somewhere, usually stored in the closet or under your bed. You may not even know how to use it, or maybe you did once, and you now have forgotten how. Why should you care?
We are all striving to stay young and strong and fit. We even want to look good doing it. And why not? The answer is simple: use your body ball every other day and you can be strong, avoid back and joint pain and enjoy good balance.
The “body ball” (swiss ball or stability ball) is easy to use, fun and versatile. You can sit on it, lie on it, roll onto it, lean on it and get a major workout. You can exercise with the ball in your own home, at the best time for you, at low cost. Think “boot camp” without the sergeant type screaming at you.
I have been teaching and working with the body ball almost all of my professional life (14 years). I quickly became a fan when I felt and observed my “core” become strong and able to stabilize my body. The body ball gives you immediate feedback: when it moves other than in the direction intended, you are not activating your core. I would love to inspire you to use the body ball more frequently. I plan to share with you exercises and ideas to help you get started. Please email me about your experiences with the ball good or bad at info@gaiaadventures.com. I invite you to love your life.
