The gym ball - also known as a fitness ball or Swiss ball - is a very useful tool for a wide range of exercises. These balls are widely used in core and stability training, and they also serve well in physiotherapy for many movements.
The exercises you can perform often work several muscle groups at once, which makes them highly functional.
Here is a selection of some popular types of exercises:
- Core Crunches (for the abs)
- Bent Knee Bridge (for the hamstrings and glutes)
- Abdominal Rolls (for the abs)
- Trunk Extension (for the lower back muscles)
- Elevated Push-Ups (for the chest, shoulders, triceps and abs)
- Opposite Limb (for the lower back, hamstrings and glutes)
- Superman (for the lower, mid and upper back and glutes)
