Gym Ball (w/DVD & pump)

Teeter Hang Ups Gym Ball offers users a unique platform for stretching and exercise. The primary benefit of using the ball comes from its intrinsic instability. The rounded platform forces your muscles to work to retain balance during exercise movements. Just sitting on the ball contracts muscles throughout your body to prevent you from rolling off the ball.

The Gym Ball fits well with our other products because it helps to work core muscles. The core muscles, also known as postural muscles, include abdominal, mid and lower back muscles. The shape of the balls allow athletes to perform weight training exercises at a wide variety of angles and to train certain muscles through a greater range of motion. Weak core muscles can lead to poor posture, which often results in low back pain. Many people have found that strengthening core muscles by exercising with the ball has helped to relieve chronic lower back pain.

Depending on the user's skill level, beginners can inflate the Gym Ball less, making it more steady or advanced users can inflate it more, making the ball more responsive to movement.
