The Swiss Ball Can be Used by Almost Anyone

Because the Swiss ball is so easy to use and enjoyable, it is able to be used by almost everyone, young or old.

However, because the Swiss ball is designed to create instability (thus forcing the body's own muscles to be employed) there is a need for caution. The elderly, injured, pregnant women or anyone otherwise subject to a lack of stability or increased risk of falling, should not use the Swiss ball without personal instruction and care.

When choosing a Swiss ball it is important to choose the size appropriate to your height as well as the intended use. Determine what technique you plan to use the Swiss ball for before purchasing your own ball.

The swiss ball does make your exercises more challenging but also adds a little fun to your routine.
