CanDo Exercise Balls

Q: How does the CanDo Exercise Ball work? A: The CanDo Exercise Ball works by creating an unstable surface that engages your core muscles and challenges your balance. When you sit, lie, or exercise on the ball, your body automatically activates stabilizing muscles to maintain proper posture and control, which helps improve balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength throughout your workout.

Q: What sizes are available for CanDo Exercise Balls? A: CanDo Exercise Balls are available in two sizes: 22-inch and 26-inch diameter. The 22-inch ball is ideal for users 5'0" to 5'5" tall, while the 26-inch ball is perfect for users 5'6" to 6'0" tall. Choose the size that allows your hips and knees to be at 90-degree angles when seated.

Q: What's the difference between Standard and ABS Extra Thick materials? A: The Standard material offers excellent durability for regular use, while the ABS (Anti-Burst System) Extra Thick material provides enhanced safety and longevity. The ABS Extra Thick version is designed to deflate slowly if punctured rather than bursting suddenly, making it ideal for intensive therapy sessions and professional fitness environments.

Q: Can pregnant women safely use CanDo Exercise Balls? A: Yes, CanDo Exercise Balls are commonly used by pregnant women in birthing classes and prenatal fitness routines. The ball helps relieve back pressure, improves posture, and can be used for gentle stretching and strengthening exercises. However, always consult with your healthcare provider before starting any exercise program during pregnancy.

Q: What therapeutic benefits do CanDo Exercise Balls provide? A: CanDo Exercise Balls offer numerous therapeutic benefits including vestibular movement therapy, equilibrium training, core strengthening, posture improvement, and flexibility enhancement. Physical therapists and fitness professionals use them to help patients recover from injuries, improve balance disorders, and develop better body awareness.

Q: How do I choose the right CanDo Exercise Ball for my needs? A: Choose your CanDo Exercise Ball based on your height and intended use. For general fitness and sitting, select the size that allows 90-degree angles at your hips and knees. For intensive therapy or professional use, consider the ABS Extra Thick material for added safety and durability.

Q: Can CanDo Exercise Balls be used as office chairs? A: Yes, CanDo Exercise Balls make excellent alternative office chairs that promote active sitting, improve posture, and strengthen core muscles throughout the workday. The unstable surface keeps your body engaged and can help reduce back pain associated with prolonged sitting in traditional chairs.

Q: What exercises can I do with CanDo Exercise Balls? A: CanDo Exercise Balls are versatile tools for countless exercises including crunches, planks, wall squats, bridges, stretches, and balance training. They're perfect for full-body workouts, core strengthening, flexibility routines, and rehabilitation exercises, making them suitable for users of all fitness levels.
