Fitball (fitness ball)

A fitball is a large, resilient ball with a large diameter, made from high-strength PVC. The essence of the ball is working on balance. The fitball is unstable, and during exercises with it, you have to maintain equilibrium, which engages many small stabilizer muscles that are weakly or not at all activated in regular exercises. Training with a fitball allows you to work out muscles throughout the body, including stabilizer muscles, improve flexibility, coordination, and the vestibular system, which is necessary for almost all sports. The fitball is suitable for training at any age. These balls are also suitable for yoga, Pilates, rehabilitation after injuries and surgeries, and for pregnant women preparing for childbirth. The ball is made of PVC—a durable, soft, non-slip material. It is puncture-resistant. It is made with anti-burst technology—the fitball cannot explode. In case of a puncture, the air simply deflates slowly. It withstands dynamic loads up to 150 kg and static (stationary) loads up to 300 kg. A large adult can safely bounce on the ball. A pump is included. Fitballs come in round shapes and peanut shapes. The peanut-shaped fitball differs from the round one in that it moves only in one plane, making it more stable and potentially more suitable for children, pregnant women, and elderly people.
