Improve Posture
with Fitness Balls

Fitness balls are an effective tool for flexibility training. They should be burst resistant and have enough softness. They are also called gymnastic balls. They are great to correct posture and increase abdominal strength. It is important to get a burst resistant ball, if you are using it for therapy on your back. Burst resistance is even more important, if you will be using weights while exercising.

Exercises can be easy or very difficult. There are a great number of exercises that can be performed, which benefit all fitness levels. It might be best to buy an exercise instruction booklet to make sure that you do exercises correctly.

Ball kits are available that will help in your exercise program. These kits contain a ball, a pump and either a handbook or an exercise video. There are various videos available for:

1. abdominal and back exercise
2. total body workout
3. muscle toning and strengthening exercises

Price for these kits is about $30-55. Price range for a ball is about $15-50.

Basic safety guidelines:

• Do not exercise near stairs.
• If the ball is damaged, do not use it.
• Be careful not to get too close to sharp edges.
