How to choose the fitness ball that suits you
Reporter: What should I pay attention to when choosing yoga fitness balls?
Magic: First of all, you must choose the size of the yoga fitness ball according to your individual's figure. The size of the yoga fitness ball can be 45 cm, 55 cm, 65 cm, 75 cm in diameter, etc. If you are a petite woman, you can choose a 45 cm or 55 cm yoga fitness ball, while the 65 cm and 75 cm yoga fitness balls are more suitable for tall men. In addition to the choice of size, a more important point is to choose a strong and durable fitness ball produced by a regular manufacturer, which must be very elastic and fully safe.
Reporter: Is the yoga fitness ball affordable for the average person?
Magic: The weight of a yoga fitness ball can be borne by most people, because when we exercise, we don't put all the weight on the fitness ball. It only carries a part of the weight. Our body and the ball have a confrontational power. While the fitness ball allows us to relax and sink, our body will also have its own strength upward, while tightening the muscles and wrapping the bones to protect our bodies.
Reporter: What should I pay attention to when practicing yoga balls to ensure physical safety?
Magic: Practicing yoga balls requires the trainer to pay more attention, because yoga balls need better balance. They not only need to control your body well, but also control the fitness ball under your body. This is also the fun of yoga balls. There must be an interactive process between the body and the ball. Only by paying attention to both can the best fitness effect be achieved.
Reporter: What else do you need to prepare when practicing yoga balls?
Magic: In addition to yoga balls, yoga mats are also a must-have, and rope can also be added to assist objects based on your physical fitness.
Reporter: What are the requirements for clothing when practicing yoga balls?
Magic: The requirements for clothing are basically the same as for ordinary yoga. Comfortable sportswear is enough, but not too loose. Because there is a control over the yoga fitness ball during the practice process, if the clothing is too loose, it will cause inconvenience to the movement. If the loose and fat trousers or cuffs are pressed by the fitness ball, it will affect the safety of the exercise.
Reporter: How does yoga fitness balls achieve rehabilitation?
Magic: Because the fitness ball can bear local pressure on the body, when leaning against the fitness ball, we can temporarily relax our lumbar vertebrae, and at the same time strengthen the strength exercise around the lumbar vertebrae or limbs. After practicing for a period of time, when the strength around the lumbar vertebrae and limbs is strengthened, we will no longer use the strength of the lumbar vertebrae to do any movements, so the lumbar vertebrae will also be recovered and slowly consolidated. Because the yoga fitness ball has good elasticity, it will also make the lumbar spine feel very comfortable and relaxed when relying on. (Internship Editor: Yan Lili)
