Yoga with a Balance Ball
What is a Swiss Ball?
A Swiss ball, also known as a balance ball, is made of elastic rubber and typically ranges from 55 to 85 cm (22 to 34 inches) in diameter. It’s commonly used in physical therapy and exercise routines.
Benefits of Yoga with a Balance Ball
Incorporating a balance ball into your yoga practice can enhance your experience by allowing your body to open gently. The ball supports you in various poses, helping you to maintain proper breathing and prevent strain or injury. It also allows you to modify postures to better fit your body’s needs.
Improve Posture by Sitting on the Ball
Replacing your chair with a balance ball, even for part of your workday, can benefit your spine health. Sitting on a ball encourages good posture as there’s no back support, and its mobility keeps your body active. This helps prevent stiffness and back pain associated with prolonged sitting.
Exercise Example: Bent Knee Bridge for Buttocks and Hamstrings
How to do it:
1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and heels resting on the ball.
2. Spread your arms out beside you for balance.
3. Lift your buttocks off the floor by squeezing them, pushing your hips toward the ceiling.
4. Pause at the top, then return to the starting position.
Guidelines for a Medicine Ball Session
1. Ensure athletes conduct thorough warm-ups and cool-downs.
2. Clearly explain each exercise before beginning.
3. Train partners on proper techniques for feeding the ball.
4. Perform medicine ball exercises before high-intensity activities.
5. Begin with lighter exercises and progress to heavier ones.
6. Align exercises with the movements specific to the sport.
7. Alternate exercises for different body parts, such as legs, upper body, and torso.
8. Have a variety of ball weights available?"light, medium, and heavy.
Why Use a Swiss Ball?
Exercising with a Swiss ball rather than on a hard surface provides an unstable base, prompting your body to engage more muscles to maintain balance. Over time, this strengthens those muscles, enhancing overall stability and coordination.
Utilizing a balance ball can be a versatile addition to any fitness routine, offering both support and challenge to enhance your workout.
