Swiss Ball Pro Strength Exercises
Even the most basic Swiss Ball Pro exercises have amazing benefits:
Great Abs
An abdominal crunch on the fitness ball has been scientifically proven to work your abs better than a regular crunch. Ball crunches also target the entire core, not just the abs, by engaging the lower back and the stabilizing muscles that surround the spine.
Muscle Strength and Endurance
The Swiss Ball Pro not only targets the abdominals but can improve muscle strength and endurance in ALL of the major muscle groups.
Swiss Ball Pro is not recommended for exercises using heavy weights to avoid any potential injuries to users.
Core Stability
An exercise ball is less stable than traditional fitness equipment so you can also greatly improve your balance, coordination and core strength in your deep abdominal muscles and back. With the Swiss Ball Pro no matter how “deep” these muscles are, they are still active
