The Gymnic Exercise Balls are fun exercise tools used for physical therapy, athletic training, core strengthening, in yoga classes, and also as an alternative sitting device.
The exercise balls are constructed with soft yet very durable, inflatable, latex-free rubber and are formed through a specialized molding process that produces a thick, continuous, seamless surface that won't leak or tear. These very durable balls can be used repeatedly by a wide range of people of various size and weight, making them ideal for long-term use in clinics, at the gym, and at home.
In physical therapy, the ball can be used to help develop postural stability, gross motor skills, and bilateral coordination. As an exercise tool the ball can be used to enhance core strength, help improve flexibility, and increase overall muscle strength. Used as a chair, the user can learn how to be more balanced and stable when sitting while at the same time exercising important lower back muscles.
Available in different diameter sizes, getting the correct size ball is important for the task to be done or to achieve the best fit for the user's particular body size.
