Schildkröt Fitness Half-Ball Dynamic

The Half-Ball replaces 4 pieces of fitness equipment at once: 1) Balance Board: Much higher demand on coordination and balance. 2) Abdominal trainer: Much more effective abdominal exercises possible (for large and deep muscle groups). 3) Back Stretcher: Adapts better to the spine than standard "back stretchers". 4) Gym ball: Is more space-saving and can also be adjusted in height on the chair. Training tips: When exercising on the unstable half-ball, it is permissible to wiggle. This increases the effectiveness of the exercises, as the wobbling effect also activates the deep muscles. Always breathe fluently. During dynamic exercises, exhale during the upward movement and inhale during the downward movement. Be sure to perform the movement correctly and very slowly. If pain occurs during exercise, seek medical advice. As far as your training condition allows, a higher/longer exercise duration is recommended. You should feel comfortable, i.e. the load should never be perceived as too heavy. In order to achieve optimal training success with as little training effort as possible, you should train 2-3 times a week for at least 10 minutes. Scientific research confirms that training success depends primarily on regularity. Over time, a training effect will develop. To keep challenging your body, you can, for example, increase the number of repetitions/exercise duration, perform the movement even more slowly, choose variants with a higher degree of difficulty, repeat the exercise sequence 1 time or up to 3 times. The half ball is also suitable for balance exercises while standing on the flat side. WARNING: Balance exercises while standing can lead to falls and are done at your own risk. Half Ball as a seat cushion: You can change the amount of air according to your individual needs. With a high air volume, the Half Ball bulges in the bottom area and the trampoline effect (vertical oscillation effect) increases. With a low air volume, a distinct seat bulge is created, the Half-Ball becomes flatter and the rocking effect increases. To reduce the air volume, remove the needle from the side of the pump handle, insert it (without the pump) into the valve as far as it will go, and then press down on the half-ball. If there is an uncomfortable ball bulge under the buttocks, you should sit further forward on the ball or change the air volume. If the air volume is low, you can also sit on the flat side of the half-ball. To optimize the sitting posture, you should sit more in the front area of the half-ball. Behind the buttocks there will then be an arch of the ball about the width of your hand. Most people sit too low. The optimal open seat angle is 110° to 120° between torso and thigh. By regulating the amount of air you can optimize your sitting height on the Half-Ball accordingly. The Half-Ball is a seating alternative for in-between back workouts. You can increase your sitting time with improved training condition. The well-known traditional German brand Schildkröt now also focuses on fitness.
