Praxistest
Beim Auspacken war a typical rubber smell easily perceptible. The small foot pump is pretty unstable and it occurred to me to be easier to use these, because she again slid away under my foot with the hand. After not even two minutes, the ball is fully inflated. The pumping more air in, the seat will be the harder. The valve can be but easy to open and close, thus you can simply omit too much air. I found most comfortable the smooth surface to sit, because through the structure on the ground, more support is awarded the ball. But also the massage function, when you first time out has the bow and remains of the ball on the spot, is very pleasant. I was immediately forced to take a healthy, upright posture, as otherwise umher would roll the ball. After a few hours and you find only what muscle groups you to sit actually needs, but rarely actually used. Already in the evening a little soreness announced itself in. As sports equipment I've tried two days later it thanks to the aforementioned cramp. The ball had lost until then no air and held that the air pressure in the following days as I wanted it. At the end of the four-day trial period, I have left out the air and easily folded him. I decided for the single leg press and squats on the wall. The squats one stands with the ball in the back of a wall and roll it with each squat down and up again. The exercise was easy and effective, as she claimed the legs and makes for a better feeling. The single leg press was much more difficult, because the ball constantly rolled off me to the page, what was but more on my missing feeling of balance and pressure on the shoulder region, than on the ball. During the exercise, one lays down on the ball with the shoulders and stands with bent legs. A leg is now placed over the other, while deep slide down can get, without losing contact with the ball. One keeps this position shortly before to balk in the horizontal position.
