Exercise Balls, Gym Balls & Swiss Balls

Around 50% of adults say that they don’t have time to go to the gym regularly. So what's the solution? One option is to bring the gym to you at home! Whether you're looking to create your own home gym or are simply wanting to work out more at home, exercise balls along with gym mats are a great affordable combination to get started with.

EXERCISE BALLS

It's easy to workout at home, and it can be done with very little to no equipment. It can be just as beneficial as working out at the gym and it's a great way to improve your overall health.

Exercise balls, resistance bands, ankle weights, and skipping ropes take up very little space in your home. They can be used inside or outside, and they're perfect for people who live in studio flats or small homes who don’t have a lot of room to work with. And there are lots of great workouts you can do with them too — the key is to get creative!

GYM BALLS

Maintaining core strength is extremely important, as these are the muscles in your body that stabilise and support all your movements. Whether you're using an exercise ball for Pilates, yoga or simple stretching exercises, training with a gym ball is an excellent way to work these deep, hard-to-reach muscles. And if you suffer from back pain, a gym ball can also be used to stretch out your lower back muscles for instant relief — just lay your whole body over the ball. This is one of the most basic exercises you can do with an exercise ball, and it can be done by all users, from beginners to advanced.
