Yoga balls, fitness balls, yoga has many benefits
Various items in gyms are becoming more and more abundant. Fitness balls, Pilates beds, and even crutch exercises are popular in British gyms... Nowadays, a small fitness ball the size of a palm is becoming popular again. It is like a toy for a 4-year-old child. Holding it in your hand and practicing various physical movements is indeed simple and practical.
Not long ago, Weide Fitness Coach Ma Baobao learned this set of exercises when she went to New Zealand to participate in international fitness instructor training. She said that Western women are currently popular with this simple and easy-to-learn set of small ball exercises.
Let's call this small ball a "little yoga ball", but of course, we can also call it a "small ball".
Girls can be completely used as toys. While exercising, they can play games. Exercise can be very happy and easy. Before talking about how to complete this set of exercises, let's first talk about the dress for completing this set of small ball exercises. This is quite important.
There are particular things to dress for "Little Yoga Ball Exercise": cropped pants and running shoes. Appropriate dressing is a prerequisite for smooth small yoga ball practice.
The first is clothing that is elastic and easy to sweat, which can be short sleeves or suspenders.
Pants are recommended to wear three-point sweatpants, because during ball exercises, the bending of the thighs and calves may be used to pinch the yoga ball. During this action, the trousers may slip too much and cannot hold the ball. If you wear shorts, the skin of your thighs and calves will come into contact with the spherical surface, which will cause the skin to be too sticky and slippery after sweating, which is not conducive to fixing the ball. Therefore,"cropped pants" became the most suitable choice.
Although it is called a "yoga ball", the biggest difference between practicing yoga balls and yoga balls lies in the "shoes"? Yoga balls are generally barefoot, and there are many jumping movements in "yoga ball exercises". If you can wear a pair of sports shoes with air cushions, you can better protect your feet from sports injuries.

Action 1:
Raise the ball horizontally with both hands to your chest and rotate your upper body. This movement can stretch to the arms, waist, hips and legs. The movement goes from slow to fast. It is a warm-up movement for the entire ball exercise.
Action points: Be sure to hold the ball flat with your hands on your chest. If your arms droop, it will not produce a good exercise effect. (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
