Fitness 121 Recommends Sept 09'


Gymnic Plus Stability Balls: constructed of latex-free vinyl material in four different diameters from 45 to 75cm (18 to 30 inches). These are the only Stability Balls that we allow at Fitness 121. Quite simply they are the best ones on the market.




Their Benefits/Uses:
-Increases muscle strength
-Improves proprioception, balance and stability
-Helps develop the core body muscles by forcing the body to respond to the instability of the ball.
-Can be used in place of a chair to help maintain proper posture as it engages the abdominal and back muscles.
-Develops strength in all planes of motion (frontal, sagittal, and transverse) which helps improve overall functional strength and decreases the chance of injury.

* Each holds up to 600 lbs static weight.
