Swiss Ball Knowledge

Post by Bob Wildes »

Anyone got a source for Swiss Ball?

I'm expecting this to get at least ten flaming responses.

Now after those I'd appreciate a reliable source with reasonable prices. I never
thought I would want one of those, but now I am considering one for some ab work.

Think the Bosu ball balance trainer is best thing and what i use in a couple gyms where i train to do 4 hour body ab crunches.

Have not put out the $100+ to buy yet...

Not sure what you mean. Can you post a video of one being used?

I don't know, look on Amazon, Perform Better, maybe Rogue and compare prices. Do a google search and click on the shopping link.

It's a Swiss ball. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to pick one out, and they're cheap, so don't spend a day researching them.

I have one that I sit on sometimes, and I use it for ab work and I'll lay across it on my back to stretch out a bit.

I found a 65 centimeter ball from Amazon (Gaia) for under $20 that should be the ticket.

Thanks all.

Not at present, but I will eventually find a way.

Shit, until I rediscovered Yoga I was of the opinion that all Kettlebells come with a Swiss ball, back stretches with them are the hit!

We had a trainer who wiped me out with a Swiss ball and a Bosu in 30 minutes of pure fucking Hell!
