exercise ball

I have always called it the Pilates ball because that was how I was introduced to it. It is really an exercise ball that is called by many other names including balance ball, body ball, fitness ball or Swiss ball. It is made of elastic PVC with a diameter of approximately 14 to 34 centimeters and is filled with air. Air pressure is adjusted by increasing or decreasing air content through a valve stem. It is often used in therapy, training and exercise.

The exercise ball is credited with strengthening core muscles. They also improve balance and coordination. It is said that the body responds to the instability of the ball; to remain balanced it engages more muscles. It benefits most the abdominal and back muscles. There are many ways you can use the exercise ball but beginners should seek professional help to ensure that these are being done in the right way.
