A strengthening especially of the abdominal, back and core muscles through safe, effective and dynamic back and stability training. Can train the back muscles by sitting upright and moving. Improve coordination and balance.

While sitting on the ball, an upright posture is automatically adopted. At the same time, the pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles are always involuntarily used to balance the body. Instructions with specific exercise suggestions are included in the product packaging.

Characteristics of the original Anti-Burst material:

Due to the special anti-burst material, the shape of the ball may change during use. This has no influence on the effect during sitting or the movement sequence during exercises. The decisive factors are the dynamics and the safety system of the ball, not its circular nature. Due to packaging, an ABS® ball will still have some wrinkles after inflation. Due to the special safety material, these wrinkles can also be permanently visible on an inflated ABS® Ball. This does not affect the functionality or safety in any way.
In case of damage by objects such as sharp edges, needles, glass splinters, scissors, etc., the material of the ball skin prevents an abrupt rupture. The air escapes only slowly through the hole. Bursting is excluded and injuries due to an unexpected fall are avoided.
