Also known as balance ball, swiss ball and exercise ball, this training equipment can be used to improve your balance, core strength and coordination. Perfect for those needing to improve sports specific skills, functional movements (like fall prevention) or just to spice up a boring fitness routine. There are several different body ball exercises to choose from, just make sure they suit your level of ability as some can be quite difficult.
Choose the right size body ball for you. To test it, sit on the ball and make sure your hips are level or just slightly higher than your knees. 55cm (4'11" - 5'4") 65cm (5'5"-5'11") 75cm (6'0"-6'7")
