The Redondo® Ball – made in Germany – is a soft, inflatable and very resilient ball. It can help to strengthen the spinal, abdominal and core musculature as well as the pelvic floor and hip flexors.
The air filling can be adjusted to make the ball softer (for sitting or as a headrest) or stiffer for other exercises. The Redondo® Ball can be easily inflated by mouth (a straw for more comfort and hygiene comes with the product).
Squeeze the ball between your legs to strengthen your leg muscles and buttocks. Use it as a support under your back to strengthen your core musculature. Bounce it and catch it to improve coordination and skills. This ball is a perfect tool for Pilates-, Wellness-, Fitness and Mind-Body exercises. Plenty of exercises are shown on the workout poster, which comes with the ball.
Thanks to its suitability for strengthening the back muscles, the Redondo Ball has been awarded with the AGR seal of quality (Campaign for Healthier Backs).
