By using the
exercise ball as a chair your
'core stabilisers' will be getting
a workout all day. By strengthening
this group of muscles your posture
will improve and you will help
prevent back injuries.
How to size your stability ball?
choose the correct size of ball
and have it inflated properly.
When seated on the ball, your
thigh should be parallel or
slightly above parallel to the
ground. For those with back
pain, a slightly larger ball
is often better, so the thigh
is above parallel.
It is important to use the
ball as a chair gradually, as
often your 'core stabilisers'
have not been worked very much
and need re-educating.
Start with sitting on the ball
for 10-15 minutes a day and
build on this gradually. Remember
to consult your physician or
physiotherapist before using
a ball if you have had any back
problems or injuries
