About this product
Yoga Exercise Gym Ball – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
This is an anti-burst PVC exercise ball, used for core training, balance work, stretching, rehabilitation and sitting.
The training principle is simple: an unstable surface makes the muscles around your trunk and hips work continuously to keep you level. A sit-up on the floor trains the abdominals; the same movement on a ball trains them plus everything that stabilises the spine and pelvis, because the surface is trying to tip you off. That is also why it is a staple of physiotherapy – it loads the stabilising system without loading the joints.
Anti-burst is the specification that actually matters. A cheap inflatable ball that is punctured while an adult is on it fails instantly and the person lands on the floor. An anti-burst ball is built so that a puncture releases air slowly – you sink over several seconds and step off. Given that people sit on these at desks and lie on them holding weights, that difference is worth insisting on.
Size the ball to your height. Sitting on it with your feet flat on the floor, your thighs should be roughly horizontal – hips level with knees. Too small and your knees are above your hips; too large and you are perched. Ask us for the sizes in stock and tell us your height.
Inflate it over two stages: pump it up, leave it a day, then top it up. PVC stretches as it settles, and a ball inflated fully in one go will be soft the next morning and slightly oversized after a week. Keep it away from grit and anything sharp, and away from direct sun, which degrades PVC.
