Diet and Exercise Planning: Swiss Ball

Posted February 15th, 2006 by admin

What benefits can the Swiss ball offer to your diet and exercise planning routine?

The Swiss ball has been referred to as the Stability ball, Exercise ball, or Flexibility ball. This ball is used in diet and exercise planning programs to improve their posture and increase their flexibility and strength. This ball was developed in Italy in the 1960’s to help the user rely on their core muscles to retain balance. This is how the ball helps to improve strength and flexibility in those muscles.

The Swiss ball has been used in rehabilitation and physiotherapy settings. Also this ball has been known in the general fitness world as an adaptable addition to routines. Anyone who is at increased risk of falling or has a lack of stability should not use this ball without personal instruction. When choosing a ball size, the ball must be appropriate to your height and intended exercise use. The Swiss ball can offer many benefits such as decreased lower back pain. Try the Swiss ball in your diet and exercise planning routine and see how much fun it can be!
