balance ball
« on: August 10, 2011, 06:34:45 pm »
Do you have a balance ball?  Do you use it very often.  I use to use mine all the time .... sat on it while on the computer and I do think it helped me gain a little strength in my back.  I am going to dust it off and start using it again.  I need to find some good exercises using it ... ones that you can do with a bad back.  Any ideas?

I personally do not have one.  Sounds like a interesting idea, though!  I need all of the strength in my back that I can get!

These balancing *bleep* are great tools to use for calesthenics and general exercise routines. How big are you talking about?

Not sure of the exact size but it is the LARGE one that you sit on.  I try to do a altered crunch on the ball to help my abs ... but it isn't working or I'm not doing it enough.  I have bad discs in my back so I can't do much bending.... I would LOVE to get some flexibility back.

I love my balance ball.
It is a great warm up tool.
Good for stretching.
Definitely work on your abs if you want back support.
Firming your core firms up your back strength.
