Pilates Classes using the Stability Ball

'The funnest piece of equipment' says Bruce a long standing Pilates client. He along with the majority of my clients will pick the stability ball as the most enjoyable of all the equipment. This is a homemade course and hopefully you find the workouts and information included insightful, beneficial and most importantly you feel the exercises working in a way that isn't strenuous.

When you use the ball every movement you do, you are having to balance. This means that even just sitting on the ball would work numerous stabilizer muscles. The deep core muscles that protect your lower back are activated when you have to balance.

This makes the ball workouts a brilliant option for relieving tight lower backs. Before you begin your FUN Ball classes, start with learning all the correct Pilates principles and placements. By following these positions you optimize your workout tremendously.

If you already know the basics, hop right along to the Ball section. The Ball section starts with a tutorial on how to buy the correct ball size according to your height. We then discuss safety precautions before diving into the workouts.
