Slimming ball
Having effective sports facilities at home is the key to exercising regularly. Hula-hoop, jump rope and fitball - a gymnastic weight loss ball - are simple, but indispensable helpers for everyone who wants to make their body beautiful.
Gym ball for weight loss and health
Initially, the weight loss ball was developed for the rehabilitation of patients with spinal problems, diseases of the nervous system and disorders of the vestibular apparatus. Over time, it began to be used for many other medical and physical procedures, including for weight loss.
The use of a weight loss ball is effective not only at the stage of weight loss, but also subsequently - at the stage of holding. This ingenious simulator allows you to train in conditions of psychological and physical comfort, has no contraindications, since it does not create heavy physical exertion, contributes to the formation of correct posture, and also has a general strengthening and healing effect on the body as a whole: it tones up muscles, normalizes digestion, straightens the spine.
In modern creative offices, computer chairs are commonly replaced by gymnastic balls, as maintaining dynamic balance while sitting on the ball has been shown to increase focus, burn calories and increase overall employee health. In order to effectively use the weight loss ball, you should know the rules for choosing this gymnastic apparatus. The presence of "horns" is not a fundamental condition, the size of the ball is much more important.
The higher a person's height, the larger diameter weight loss ball he will need. For example, a ball with a diameter of 35 cm is suitable for children, 55 cm for short girls, and a large ball diameter is needed for people over 150 cm.
If the surface of the fitball is not smooth, but has a certain relief - pimples, notches, etc. - a moderate massage effect will also be provided during training.
Gym ball: exercise for weight loss
It takes a lot of energy to maintain balance on a weight loss ball. Also, this task will require the concentration of all the muscles in the body. Muscle tone increases, due to which the position of the spinal column is stabilized and an elastic abdominal press is formed. Despite the apparent simplicity of the exercises, due to the simultaneous work of all muscle groups, weight loss occurs quite quickly. In addition, they do not overload the spine and lower limbs.
The weight loss ball allows you to get rid of extra pounds without exhausting loads, and with the help of simple exercises. One of them is push-ups from the floor. At the initial stages, the hips are placed on the ball, the hands rest on the floor and perform flexion movements in the elbow joints. In the future, the ball is gradually moved in the direction of the feet, thereby increasing the load and complexity of the training.
The second exercise will help get rid of the extra centimeters in the waist area. To do this, you need a net for a weight loss ball, spread your legs wide to the sides and perform several turns of the body, first in one direction and then in the other direction.
For warm-up of the spine, riding a fitball is perfect. To do this, you need to lie with the center of your back on the ball and perform swaying movements, moving your legs back and forth. Bouncing on a weight loss ball is great for training leg muscles. To do this, you will need to sit on the ball and perform bouncing movements without taking your feet off the floor, and your buttocks from the ball.
In the public domain, it is easy to find many exercises of varying difficulty using fitball. In addition to losing weight, a gymnastic ball is used in the preparation of pregnant women for childbirth, as well as in a set of physical exercises for infants.
