QUEST FOR ADVANCED CONDITION Exercise Ball - Resist a Ball |
Resist-a-ball (exercise ball)What is an Exercise Ball? 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. 
This Maxafe textured exercise ball is the most durable ball for the home and professional setting. The Maxafe exercise ball is very effective for resistance, flexibility, and interval training. Resist-A-Ball exercise balls (Maxafe) are used in the Olympics and by many sport conditioning programs, Rehabs, aerobics and by personal trainers - big time! Resist-a-ball exercise balls are made of the highest quality vinyl to endure repeated class use and have been tested to support over 600 Lbs! Unstable exercising with an exercise ball builds and tones muscle fast! 
Exercise Balls - What is especially significant to bodybuilders, is that this actually is the most excellent way to make any exercise unstable. Performing an unstabilized exercise (click here for some demonstrations) forces the muscles to work in ways in which it is not used to, therefore, many smaller muscles also benefit from trying to stabilize the motion. 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. Give it a few months or years, though. In the meantime, you can start using this highly-evolved training method immediately and get a head start on everyone else" Strength Coach, Charles Poliquin, 1998. "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. I always find a way to incorporate the ball into my circuit and step training classes because, not only is it a fun alternative to the same old resistance training exercise, but my classes can't get enough" Gin Miller, Aerobic Instructor.
