An exercise ball—sometimes referred to as a stability ball or Swiss ball—is a classic piece of fitness equipment you can find in nearly every gym setting as well as Pilates and yoga studios, and HIIT classes. Traditionally made with PVC, exercise balls can be easily inflated with either a hand or foot pump and used to supplement bodyweight workouts or improve posture and balance by using one in place of your desk chair
What is a Yoga Ball?
Yoga balls are also known as Swiss balls, stability balls or exercise balls. They are normally made of PVC or other soft elastic material and range in sizes from 35 through 85 centimetres. It was invented in 1963 by an Italian, Aquilino Cosani, and was originally called a “Pezzi Ball.” It was designed to help in treatment of newborn babies and infants in Switzerland with cerebral palsy. Soon, other doctors and researchers saw the benefits of using the balls as tools in physiotherapy, neurodevelopmental treatment, and other orthopedic and medical therapies.
Today, many athletes use these puncture resistant balls in training to develop balance, stability, and even as weight training tools.
Seated Twists and Other Seated Variations
For many yoga ball newbies, Sukhasana, or an easy seated pose on a yoga ball, may already be a challenge for your balance and already give a good workout to your core if you sit long enough. But you can also include other movements like spinal twists, cat-cow flexions, and side stretches as you sit.
You may also try lifting your arms up and down with your breath, opening and closing your arms as you inhale and exhale, or hold your arms in Garudasana or Gomukhasana with your feet flat on the ground.
If you feel stable enough, you may also try lifting one leg at a time, crossing one leg over the other, or lifting both legs carefully.
