Fit ball (Swiss Ball) Classes in Tonbridge
Fit balls are large rubber exercise balls, also known as Swiss ball, Gym ball or even Birthing ball. The balls have been used extensively in rehabilitation and physiotherapy for over 40 years and more recently as a fitness tool. The Fit ball can be used by anyone regardless of age, fitness or gender.
So why train on an exercise ball?
- it’s different and will add variety to your exercise routine
- it will challenge you – the ball is ‘wobbly’ so you need to draw on core muscles which will develop your balance to stay upright
- using the ball will improve your joint alignment – it’s difficult to be ‘sloppy’ on the ball
- it’s fun!
Working out on a Swiss ball can help you…
- increase your back health, strengthening the structures responsible for spinal health
- improve your posture by building postural awareness and strength
- strengthen your deep abdominal and spinal muscles which act as a splint around your spine – your core.
