Development of Fitball

The "stability ball" (also known as "Swiss  ball") has successfully been used for over four decades in therapy and rehabilitation.  But within the last 10 years these balls have conquered many other fields of use. They are  used in sports, recreation and even in classrooms and offices, to provide active sitting  as an alternative to chairs.
The fitness and health club industry has also adopted the  ball because it is versatile, interesting and a lot of fun.

The main features of  Fitball training

  It improves endurance, strength and mobility
• It provides exercises for better posture, balance, body  awareness and coordination

But there are also some commercial aspects:  Only few products provide so many opportunities for different exercises at such an  affordable price.
