The Dynair Ballkissen XXL
The Dynair Ballkissen XXL is an air-filled training and therapy cushion which is available in two different difficulty levels. The difference is in the degree of hardness of the material. With Level III the material is a little more firm and therefore a little less dynamic. The Dynair Ballkissen Level IV on the other hand is not as firm. This means that the training equipment is less stable during exercises, and makes training even more effective.
What does it do?
With a diameter of 50 cm it demands high performance from every participant, and improves coordination, balance and strength. Constant compensating movements activate the deep muscles. On the back or stomach it also makes a high level of crossover coordination training possible. One side has round, soft nubs which create an additional massage effect. The other side has the popular, velvety classic design.
How does the Ballkissen work?
The Original Dynair Ballkissen XXL is more dynamic than the Ballkissen (which has a smaller diameter) because of its larger volume. As well as this, it offers soft support during exercises while lying down. The Original Dynair Ballkissen XXL makes working out, relaxing, stability and dynamism in coordination training possible at a high level.
It is ideal for fitness, therapy, rehabilitation or training at home.
The Dynair BallkissenXXL Level III is also available as a meditation cushion.
Both versions are also available in antibacterial Actisan material, which has been awarded the TÜV LGA hygiene seal.
Expert opinion from Dr. med. Gerrit Sommer, team doctor for the German national snowboard team, and specialist in general medicine / sports medicine / chiropractic and naturopathy:
“We use the Dynair BallkissenXXL in training for the national snowboard team because of its unique ability to combine coordination and strength training on either one leg or two. The Dynair BallkissenXXL is perfect for improving movement patterns under strain, both in free stabilisation training and training with equipment, e.g. hoists or leg presses. Apart from all that, coordination training with the Dynair Ballkissen XXL is lots of fun.”
Tip: “I lay myself down on the Original Dynair Ballkissen, with its 50 cm diameter, and feel the soft round nubs on my back. Then I perform the exercises on my back, and can immediately feel the enormous dynamism of the Ballkissen. You constantly need to balance, which has a positive effect on my balance and equilibrium. When sitting it strengthens my back muscles and also trains the muscles around the spine. The standing exercises which I can carry out with the Dynair XXL also improve the stability of my joints.”
