EZ Back-muscle Workout?

The importance of ‘stability ball’ training to core strength cannot be underestimated. Core strength refers to the muscles of the abs and back and their ability to help produce movement, balance the body, stabilize the spine and hold the body in a safe, neutral position.

They are the muscles that run through our trunks, from the top of our legs to the middle of our chests. They also include the obliques and the pelvic floor muscles, that connect the pelvis to the spine and holds it in position. They take most of the load off the vertebrae in joints. Without them our middle would be like a jellyfish.

They are completely undeveloped in 99.9% of people today. Engaging our core muscles kicks in the para-sympathetic nervous system, which calms anxiety. It reduces undesirable “head forward” posture, and the risk of a herniated disc. It brings abdominal & lumbar activity into a better balance.

Back & Bounce Butt Ball chairs provide a healthier ergonomic option than the so-called ergonomic chairs. Each sway, tilt, turn, or bounce on a ‘dynamic’ seat instead of another chair relieves spinal compression and enhances movement, allowing for normal fluid diffusion and hydration inbetween the discs.

The result is improved posture, balance, circulation, core strength and productivity. As the body adjusts to the subtle bounce, sway and tilt of the ball, deep core muscles are engaged. These constant small adjustments build endurance and strength of the postural muscles. See related articles, and this Fitness Ball Survey Report.pdf

Your muscles need time to get used to sitting on a ball. Here is an incremental approach to this process. The ball can also be used to improve overall physical fitness, as well as the heart rate, by occasionally bouncing to Salsa music!!
