Everyone knows them – those large fitness balls (also called sitting balls or gym balls) found in gyms and physiotherapy practices. But what exactly can you do with them? In the past, the fitness ball was mainly used by physiotherapists for muscle recovery or mobility training. Nowadays, they’re common in nearly every gym, and increasingly used at home or in the workplace. And that makes perfect sense: it doesn’t get much easier than doing a few exercises and then simply placing the ball back in the corner. You only need to inflate the ball once with the included pump, and you can use it endlessly. VirtuFit sitting balls are built to withstand heavy and intensive use and are extremely versatile. Use them to train strength, balance, flexibility and stability – with exercises targeting your core, back and more. You can even use the ball to release stress and tension.
Benefits of a fitness ball
Beyond core and back workouts, the fitness ball offers many more advantages. You can use it for rehabilitation or even as an alternative to a desk chair. This is especially useful if you have back pain or are pregnant. The ball encourages better posture and provides more comfort than a regular chair. It’s also a great tool to rebuild strength after a long period of inactivity.
The fitness balls are available in various sizes and made from high-quality materials. They are constructed with strong anti-burst material, support up to 200 kg, and have a long lifespan. They are also free from harmful substances. That’s why all VirtuFit fitness and sitting balls come with a standard two-year warranty. To achieve the best results, it’s important to select the right size based on your height.
