The bodyball is deceptively simple. Just a big rubber ball that looks very much like a kids beach ball, except not as colorful. However it's uses are amazing and powerful enough that most professional athletes use the bodyball as an integral part of their personal training.

Bodyball workouts help build core stability, muscle strength, and balance. Accustomed to doing your dumbbell presses on a bench? Move to doing them on a bodyball! This will require you to engage in a much more demanding activity: using your own balance and stability while at the same time lifting weights. Some people find it annoying that suddenly their maximum weight load drops significantly, but this is a natural part of the process. It isn't that you've lost strength; it's simply that the body has to distribute it's power to more regions in order to maintain control of the whole body.

The end results are amazing too. While you are lifting less weight you are actually building a more solid core that is less susceptible to injury, more adept at handling the wide variety of needs place on your muscles, and faster reaction times.

Clients are very comfortable too because they can feel that there is no unnatural strain being put on their injury.

Whether you're recovering from an injury or just wanting to develop your core stronger give the bodyball a try. You'll gain from the experience, and I can properly teach you how.
