An exercise ball such as a Resist-A-Ball is an inflatable heavy-duty exercise ball made of the highest quality vinyl to endure repeated class use. A Exercise ball, also known as a stability ball, was introduced in 1909 by Dr. Susanne Klein-Vogelbach in the circle of physical therapy. Exercise balls and exercise ball exercises were first used with children afflicted with cerebral palsy to develop balance and maintain reflex response, the value of the ball was then extended to spinal injuries and other orthopedic problems. Exercise Ball - In 1992, Mike and Stephanie Morris, the developers of the Resist-A-Ball exercise ball program, were introduced to the stability ball. They immediately realized the potential this inexpensive tool could offer their personal training clients. They went on to develop a total body conditioning program using the Resist-A-Ball exercise ball. Since then, the Resist-A-Ball exercise ball product and program has been rolling into homes and fitness facilities all across the world.

Exercising with the use of this ball is able to increase muscle tone, balance, coordination, focuses on abdominal and back muscles, great for chest training, and also offers great resistance training. This means - Major increases in muscle mass. Join our free newsletter to take advantage of weekly specials, latest in health, wellness & fitness articles and upcoming seminars! "Swiss Ball training thanks largely to sports physical therapist Paul Chek and myself has become more widespread, but by no means is it either popular or well known, yet.

"In 15 years of training clients, I have found there is no exercise tool that can match the versatility of the Resist-A-Ball" Mike Morris, creator of Resist-A-Ball "The safety/success of any exercise endeavor is dependent upon strong stabilizers and proper biomechanical technique. Resist-A-Ball's program utilizes the biomechanical principles of stabilization training along with sound resistance training techniques to finally create an effective state-of-the-art tool for fitness" Tom Purvis of F.A.C.T. "Resist-A-Ball is a fantastic tool for all resistance and stretching exercises.
