Uses of the Inflatable Yoga Ball
- Sitting (active sitting):
– Assume seated position on ball. Maintain proper posture and balance.
– The act of sitting still on an inflatable ball requires energy and endurance, and is fatiguing.
- Abdominal Curl:
– Assume seated position on ball. Walk feet forward until lower back is in contact with ball. This is the starting position.
– Slowly curl upward, tightening abdominal muscles. Relax to starting position.
– Strengthening abdominal muscles with the abdominal curl exercise.
– Be sure to curl upward and relax back in a smooth, controlled motion.
- Oblique Abdominal Curl:
– Begin by lying on your back with knees bent, ball on abdomen, and one hand supporting your head and neck.
– Using your other hand, roll the CanDo Exercise Ball diagonally across body up to knees as you lift your head and shoulder.
– Once again, move in a slow and smooth motion. Switch hand positions so that you get the workout from both sides.
- Lower Abdominal Crunch:
– Begin by lying on back with ball wedged in under your bent knees. Grip ball with legs by squeezing lower leg toward buttock and lift ball toward chest.
Inflation Guidelines:
- Ball size reflects maximum inflation.
- An electric inflator may be used to inflate the ball to its approximate size.
- Maximum size may be realized by finishing the inflation process using a manual pump after letting ball settle.
Precautions:
- Consult with your physical therapist, coach, trainer of physician before starting any rehabilitation or exercise program.
- Perform exercises in a slow and controlled motion, in an open area.
- Maintain proper posture throughout exercise session.
- Exercise away from sharp objects that might puncture the ball or cause you injury.
- Remove sharp objects (i.e. rings) before you begin using your ball.
Care and Maintenance:
- Treat your exercise ball well for years of use.
- Protect your ball from direct exposure to excessive heat. This includes radiators, direct sunlight, and other sources of heat.
- Always keep ball away from sharp objects.
- When inflating, follow the inflation guidelines.
