What's Special About The BOSU Ballast Ball?
- Dynamic or always in motion weight inside the ball keeps it from rolling around and flows smoothly
- Perform shifting and lifting exercises to focus on the core and increases difficulty of exercises
- Included is a DVD which leads you through a total body workout
Excellent For Dynamic Exercise Progressions You Would Normally Do On The Ball
- Unlike the stability balls, these will not roll around the gym
- Increases the safety of your workout because ball is more stable
- Stack multiple Ballast™ Balls removing the need for unsightly stoarge contraptions
- Includes foot pump and workout DVD
- Loose filling inside your ball challenges the abs and back because of the weight as well as the shifting
- Actually produces audible cues: when rolling it, you hear a low swooshing sound, and there's a louder impact when you shake it
The Ballast Ball was created with functional training and strengthening in mind. It differs from the standard stability ball mainly because of the dynamic weight inside. The filling is what adds weight which keeps the ball stable when it's on the ground, and increases the challenge when you lift, shake or roll it. This shifting weight forces you to use your core and stabilizer muscles to keep the body static as the weight pulls you in the opposite direction.
Weight: 10.50lbs. Dimensions: 13.50" x 13.50" x 5"
- Squats - Squat to the ball, hinge back for a crunch, and stand back up to work the core and lower body
- Lifts and Shakes - You can work the core in a unique way by lifting it, rotating it around, and shaking it to make the ballast shift and move
- Abs - Perform regular ab exercises while holding the ball between your feet or in your hands for crunches or reverse crunches
As I walked into the weight room the other day I saw a Trainer with her client using a Ballast Ball. The client was shaking the ball in a circular motion at chest height and I thought, "What a dumb looking exercise." That prompted me to ask what they were doing and why. The trainer said, "try it" so I did and now I love the BOSU Ballast Ball. The effort it took to swoosh the contents of the ball around was amazing and it took serious core control to not move all over the place. I recommend this product to everyone looking to change their current stability ball routines.
