Gymball - when was it developed? What exercises are they used for?
The history of the gymnastics ball began in the 1960s in Italy. It was then that toy manufacturer Aquilino Cosani created a vinyl ball with a large size. Then a Swiss physiotherapist noticed that the product could work well for rehabilitation. As training equipment, the ball began to be used in the 1980s.
The fitness ball has become extremely popular all over the world. Today, it is used for corrective and rehabilitation exercises as well as ABT (abdominal, buttocks, thighs), TBC (Total Body Conditioning), Pilates, aerobics and fat burning.
Why train with a gym ball?
Training with a gym ball is a valuable alternative to exercises performed on a flat surface. The round gymnastic device makes it difficult to balance, which stimulates more muscles to work than is the case when training on a flat surface. The fitness ball primarily activates the deep muscles that surround the torso and guarantee support for the spine. If these are weakened, it is easier to develop a stooped posture and overload the skeletal system. Exercising with the help of a ball:
-
alleviate spinal and osteoarticular pain,
-
increase muscle strength,
-
improve balance,
-
improve the functioning of internal organs,
-
improve joint mobility without putting stress on the joints,
-
minimise nervous tension
-
reduce body fat.
Skipping rope - why choose it?
Injuries are very rare when exercising with a skipping rope. This is because the product reduces the load on the joints and forces you to train in an upright position. When jumping, the knees are slightly bent and the landing takes place on the mid-foot. This distributes the energy evenly over the leg muscles.
How does skipping help?
Doing your workout on a skipping rope for exercise:
-
you will improve your body's fitness and endurance,
-
engage and strengthen many of your muscles,
-
shape leg, calf, buttock and forearm muscles,
-
burn fat faster
-
improve coordination
-
improve body flexibility
-
stabilise your knee joints,
-
improve lung capacity.
As you can see, skipping positively influences the body's fitness in many aspects. With the help of this tool you can complement your training, perform cardio exercises, intervals and warm-ups before running or weight training.

Hula hoops - various models
There are different types of hula-hoops. So you can choose the model that suits you best in terms of function and design. The traditional hula-hoop is the model most often used by children and beginners. We also recommend a product equipped with tabs that make it easier to make fat. It is also worth choosing a hula-hoop with a massager, which has the form of a wavy hoop. Unlike the standard model, it is foldable.
How to spin the hula-hoop?
Spinning a hula-hoop doesn't work perfectly for everyone right away. For the hoop to spin, you need to adopt the right body position. How do you stand to start spinning the hula-hoop?
Place your feet wider than your shoulders, put one foot forward, straighten your back and slightly tense the muscles responsible for your posture. Do not bend at the waist, as this posture is stressful for the lumbar spine. Then put the hula-hoop on, lean it against your back and rotate it in a counter-clockwise direction. As the hoop starts to spin, move your waist and push your hips forward or backward depending on where the hoop is at the moment. Spinning a hula-hoop is not always easy to get used to. Therefore, practice until you learn to spin the hoop perfectly and it will not only bring you health benefits, but also joy. To see the effects of hula-hoop training, such as a slimmer figure, train for at least 10 minutes every day.
Hula-hoop - why choose it?
The hula-hoop is no longer an item of equipment intended only for children, although it is mainly associated with them and carefree childhood. Training with a hoop is a good way to add variety to adult exercises. Why else should you use a hula-hoop?
Helps burn calories and reduce body fat
By spinning the hula-hoop, you will burn a lot of calories. You can get rid of up to 200 calories in half an hour of exercise. A calorie deficit is necessary if you want to lose weight. Proper weight loss is a long-term process, so it is worth choosing a workout that brings positive emotions and is not just an unpleasant, tiring activity. The hula-hoop is particularly worth using if you want to reduce your waist circumference. According to one study, women doing exercises with the hula-hoop lost about 3.4 centimetres from their waist and 1.4 centimetres from their hips.
Strengthens lower body muscles and posture
Using a hula-hoop will not only slim your waistline, but also strengthen your muscles. The hoop particularly engages the muscles of the lower body - it strengthens the legs and buttocks. In addition, training with the hula-hoop requires strong posture muscles, the so-called core, and hip mobility. Therefore, it strengthens this type of muscle.
Decide on a hula-hoop, skipping rope or gym ball and perform exercises that bring lots of fun!
