BENEFITS OF EXERCISE ON SWISS BALL

  • The main benefit of exercising with an exercise ball is that the body responds to maintain the stability on the ball to remain balanced, engaging many more muscles. 
  • Those muscles develop more and more strength over time to keep balance. 
  • These balls are used to strengthen and stretch your body, improve core stability and balance.
  • The stability ball is a great tool to include in your exercises, especially for abdominal and back muscle strengthening. 
  • The Swiss ball is found helpful during childbirth, so this ball is also known as a birth ball.
  • Sitting in an upright position on the exercise ball with your hands on the table or bed for support and gently rocking the hip with the ball may help during contraction and assist the natural process of birth and fetal positioning.
