Trans Fit: A ball for all

The stability ball has been used by physical therapists for years, and the fitness industry has fully embraced this tool for group exercise and private training.

The stability ball creates an unstable surface and can be used for strength, balance, coordination, agility, core work and flexibility.

Some of my favorite exercises challenge both balance and core strength.

For review purposes, keep the following in mind:

  • When a participant sits on the ball, there should be about 90 degrees of flexion at the knee and hip joint.
