An exercise ball, also known as a Swiss Ball, is a ball constructed of soft elastic with a diameter of approximately 35 to 85 centimeters (14 to 34 inches) and filled with air. The air pressure is changed by removing a valve stem and either filling with air or letting the ball deflate. It is most often used in physical therapy, athletic training and exercise. It can also be used for weight training. The ball, while often referred to as a Swiss ball, is also known by a number of different names, including balance ball, birth ball, body ball, ball, fitness ball, gym ball, gymnastic ball, physioball, pilates ball, Pezzi ball, sports ball, stability ball, Swedish ball, therapy ball, or yoga ball.

A primary benefit of exercising with an exercise ball as opposed to exercising directly on a hard flat surface is that the body responds to the instability of the ball to remain balanced, engaging many more muscles. Those muscles become stronger over time to keep balance. Most frequently, the core body muscles the abdominal muscles and back muscles are the focus of exercise ball fitness programs.
A major benefit of using an unstable surface is the ability to recruit more muscle units without the need to increase the total load. The greatest benefit of moving an exercise onto an unstable surface is achieving a greater activation of the core musculature, exercises such as curl-up or push-up performed on an exercise ball. An unstable surface increases activation of the rectus abdominus and allows for greater activity per exercise when compared to a stable surface. Exercises such as a curl-up on an exercise ball yields a greater amount of electromyography (EMG) activity compared to exercises on a stable platform. Performing standard exercises, such as a push-up, on an unstable surface can be used to increase activation of core trunk stabilizers and in turn provide increased trunk strength and greater resistance to injury.

Next to exercise balls we also offer toning balls made of PVC and filled with sand, massage gym ball, and many other exercise balls.

how to reach the best production price?

Be as clear, detailed and absolute as possible when ordering from factories!

Ever wondered how the world's best fitness brands produce the highest quality at a fairly cheap price? It's simple: Factories calculate the production price based on the customer's preferences. If a customer is not very clear on his requirements, the production is very hard to plan. Uncertainty drives factories to increase the production price offers. The increase in price is based on the hours spent on consulting the customer about different possibilities, changes during the ordering process and to have a safety buffer in case the customer is asking for certain specification changes which make the production more expensive.

in short: uncertainty drives up factories' price offers!
