Gym balls

How to choose and what to follow when choosing the right gym balls for your needs?

1. ball size

- Gym balls are handy and lightweight tools that can be used both at home and in professional fitness clubs and physiotherapy offices. They are also a great tool for office activities, supporting correct posture while sitting at a desk. Choosing the right size gym ball will ensure a successful purchase and comfortable and safe use, as well as maximizing the benefits of training.
User height: To ensure proper ergonomics and exercise efficiency, it is advisable to choose the size of the ball according to the following guidelines:
- for people with a height of up to 165 cm: a ball with a diameter of 55 cm or smaller
- for people with a height from 165 cm to 180 cm: a ball with a diameter of 65 or 75 cm
- for people with a height of more than 180 cm: a ball with a diameter of 75 cm,

2 Purpose and additional functions

- Be sure to select the ball according to your needs and the type of exercise to maximize its potential and ensure your safety during training. Exercises to perform using the ball:
Muscle strengthening: gym balls are ideal for exercises to strengthen abdominal, back, leg and arm muscles. Using the ball, you can train your body comprehensively. Strengthening the abdomen - performing abdominals with the ball held behind the head or between the feet, or plank with the hands on the ball. Strengthening the back - in the bridge position, with the ball over the back, lifting the hips. Training the legs - performing squats or hip bridges with feet on the ball, as well as single-leg squats with the ball held in front of you. Push-ups with your hands on the ball or holding the ball between your knees engage your arms and thigh muscles.
Improving balance: Using a gym ball to improve balance and proprioception is an excellent way to strengthen stabilizing muscles. Sit on the ball and lift one leg, trying to maintain balance. Alternatively, you can stand on one leg while holding the ball in front of you to further engage the muscles. What's more, also performing exercises that require stability, such as one-legged squats with the ball held overhead, is a great way to exercise to promote not only balance and proprioception development, but also to improve overall stability and body control.
Rehabilitation: using a gymnastics ball in rehabilitation promotes joint mobilization, stabilization and muscle recovery. Gently rolling the ball over the feet or hands helps mobilize joints and improve range of motion. Isometric exercises, such as holding the ball between your back and the wall and moving up and down, strengthen stability. Gentle bends with the ball promote gradual recovery of muscle strength, which is crucial in the rehabilitation process after injuries and surgeries.
- In addition, the ability to adjust the hardness of the ball by pumping or deflating, allows you to personalize your training according to your individual needs.
- For dynamic functional exercises, balls that are more stable and harder will be better, while for relaxation exercises, softer balls can be selected.

3. material and safety

- The right material and safety features of a gymnastic ball are very important factors that determine the safety of use. The gym balls on offer are made of durable and flexible polyvinyl chloride. PVC is valued for its ability to withstand heavy loads and its resistance to mechanical damage. High-quality PVC is free of phthalates and other harmful chemicals that can cause allergies or other health problems. The material also features abrasion resistance and has a long lifespan, making it an ideal choice for intense workouts by many users.
Anti-Burst System: is an advanced and innovative safety system that prevents the ball from rupturing abruptly. In case of puncture, the ball deflates gradually, allowing the user to finish the exercise safely. The system is based on a special layered design that dissipates the pressure created by the damage, eliminating the risk of a sudden burst.
Anti-Slip Coating: on the surface of the gymnastics ball provides increased grip. The use of special textures on the surface of the ball prevents it from sliding on the floor, even during dynamic movements. This property allows for stable exercise, which translates into safety during training, minimizing the risk of injury.

Summary

Gym balls are an indispensable tool in training and rehabilitation, offering versatility and effectiveness. Made of durable and safe PVC, equipped with Anti-Burst system and anti-slip coating, they guarantee safety and comfort. With different sizes and adjustable pressure, the balls can be customized for optimal ergonomics and exercise efficiency. Ideal for muscle strengthening, balance improvement and rehabilitation, gym balls promote physical development on many levels, bringing tangible health benefits through physical activity.
