Fitball Training Tips

Fitball exercises for the whole body require strict adherence to the technique of their implementation. Otherwise, the type of load under consideration will not only have minimal efficiency, but can also cause an athlete to get injured or sprained.

To avoid this, it is important to follow the basic recommendations for training with fitball:

Before and after class, devote proper amount of time to warm-up and warm-up , respectively. This approach to organizing training will allow the girl, regardless of the level of the selected load, to minimize pain in the muscles after they are worked on the ball.
During the exercise, focus on the qualities of, and not on speed, trying to maximize the feel of the muscles under any type of load.
Perform exercises to work out all muscle groups , not just the problem area. Ignoring this recommendation can lead to overtraining, as well as significantly impair the overall appearance of the athlete.
To adjust the density of the fitball inflation depending on the physical fitness of the girl. The stronger the ball is inflated, the higher the difficulty level of performing exercises on it. During the first lessons, it is recommended to slightly blow out a sports equipment, thus allowing the body to gradually get used to physical activity.
To achieve the set result, it is recommended that you contact a fitness trainer who is able to properly organize the training process taking into account the client’s health status, her goals and the level of physical fitness.If it is not possible to use the services of a professional, it is recommended to build your classes on the basis of a circular training.
Perform exercises that do not cause pain or significant discomfort. For example, people with poor vestibular apparatus should initially abandon exercises involving rolls to the ball or rotational movements face down.
If necessary, increase the load , it is not recommended to perform a greater number of repetitions than the training program provides. Under such circumstances, fitness trainers recommend modifying loads by artificially creating the need to use weights, such as dumbbells.

When practicing with a fitball, as with other types of physical activity, it is recommended to pay attention to your well-being during the first trainings, as well as after increasing the load.

A slight malaise or a more acute reaction of the body to sports should be the reason for going to the doctor for an additional examination.

Lower body exercises

Fitball exercises for the whole body are best built so that at the beginning of the workout the main load goes to the lower part (legs, hips, buttocks). Given the direction of the lymphatic flow in the body, this way of organizing classes will allow you to naturally introduce the body into the training process.
