Pilates with a ball
Pilates balls, also called Swiss Balls, yoga balls and exercise balls, are common fixtures in gyms. They're also popular in homes and offices due to the convenient but effective workouts they provide. They have many applications in the fitness world, from increasing flexibility to building muscles.
The most popular benefit of Pilates balls is increasing muscle strength. They're regularly used to strengthen the body's core muscles, such as those in the abdomen and lower back.
Pilates balls are regularly used in Pilates and yoga, two activities known to help provide lean, long, flexible muscles. The ball is beneficial in that it assists you in doing movements that you might not be able to do without its support. It also helps you move into deeper stretches and bends as it cradles your back and spine. As a result, Pilates ball workouts improve overall flexibility.
Pilates balls are used as chairs in many office environments. When you replace your desk chair with a Pilates ball, you're forced to sit in an upright position and to use your core muscles to keep yourself steady and the ball still. The core muscles you strengthen by sitting on the ball all support correct posture. Pilates balls help keep the natural curve in your spine that flat-backed chairs and regular slouching can alter.
Come and join in the fun whilst gaining increased strength, flexibility and improved posture.
