The fitball

In the nineties in America a new and amusing fitness tool appears suitable for a global neuro-muscular training that soon becomes a valid support and an irreplaceable help for all operators in the sector, working in the field of physical activity having fun and having fun they want to improve the overall posture of their pupils in the whole of a lesson, toning their muscles, preventing joint disorders, shaping the body and improving balance.

While the end of the twentieth century marks for the sedentary man a period dominated by the awareness that part of the day spent sitting in front of his desk or in the car certainly does not benefit in any way his back, his posture and physical efficiency, the Fitball which is a PVC ball filled with air with a variable diameter and circumference of between 55 and 75 cm, presenting itself as a normal colored sphere that is fun to use and to ride, arousing a large and homogeneous audience and starting to be used and exploited precisely in relation to the characteristics and properties it demonstrates in being used to work the individual "almost in the absence of gravity", thus improving and stimulating the general postural order and balance.

Rolling, bouncing, jumping and working on this wonderful playful-motor tool,

in fact, all the muscles of the body stretch and tone, dissolving the joints and muscular tension, having fun and having fun without excessively forcing any part or structure of the body.

Moreover the dynamism of the ball that I would dare to define a fantastic, multi-role and very engaging instrument, will wrap all the parts of the body in support creating the ideal conditions to develop the conscious feeling of being truly one with the surface of this magical instrument.

Therefore, by using the Fitball in this sense, we will constantly activate the proprioceptive receptors of the organism, which will trigger all the muscular contractions necessary and useful to compensate for all the inevitable variations of the body in space, thus keeping it always perfectly in balance.

It is therefore inevitable to emphasize to all the experts of the sector the importance of this innovative and amusing tool from the work programs full of particular and funny individual and group lessons, which will not only result in all the students a valid reason for interest, but also the ideal and optimal conditions to easily improve physical appearance, cardio-vascular efficiency, posture, "suffering" of the spine and joints, positively conditioning the health of the student by harmonizing the body, mind and improving also interpersonal relationships and mood as a whole.

The enviable talents and programs of the Fitball ball, I am personally convinced, will surely remain in the future not only for valid training to be developed and used in the world of fitness or in the field of rehabilitation, but certainly a constant and permanent new concept of alternative and global training, definitely innovative and fun.
