LifePro Half Exercise Ball Trainer

As a ‘young’ boomer I have to say this Lifepro Horizon Balance Ball Trainer is terrific! Older adults have to choose their workout equipment wisely due to flexibility and balance restrictions, but this exercise half ball will allow us seniors to make that decision easy. This ball is helping me improve MY health at MY pace and will make me stronger and more vibrant, in the process. I know…I did the research and have also used similar half balls in physical therapy! Here are just some of the features I’ve noticed: • The nubs have it - non slip ‘nubs’ provide a stable, textured surface to stand on • Inflation tool is the fasted hand held inflation tool around! I inflated the half ball and yoga ball in a couple minutes! • Ball is light, easy to lift and move, compact in size • Easy to follow instructions and large workout chart shows precise visuals of suggested exercises • Use with other Lifepro products and get multiple benefits – I first step onto my Lifepro Rumblex Plus Vibration Plate to loosen up my muscles and joints, then I do a short workout on my new Lifepro Horizon Balance Ball. I am amazed at how energized I feel after just a few minutes on this compact “half moon” ball! • Attach your own resistance bands for additional exercise choices – or, you can purchase these bands on the Lifepro website www.lifeprofitness.com under the Shop ---> Accessories tab. • Improves my balance, stability and flexibility - My ankles and knees already feel stronger after using this half ball only a short time! My favorite move is to place the yoga ball between my knees and slowly squat, hold, and rise again (while focusing on a picture on the wall to keep me in balance). I also like using the resistance bands to build my upper body. A few Precautions for the Boomer generation (and younger others, too): • Wear shoes, socks, or bare feet – just use caution with socks slipping on hard floors. I use my unit with bare feet or socks to get a better “feel” of the ball, on my carpeted floor. • Do be careful mounting/dismounting - position the ball near a chair or a wall to catch you if you lose your balance, especially at first! Having a chair handy is very helpful when getting up off the unit from a seated position, too. • For bad knees...step onto and off ball with your good knee first to avoid pain or instability issues. You’ll learn the best exercises for your situation. • Keep the goal in mind – your goal is to hold certain positions while forcing your muscles to be stable. I like to focus on an item on a wall in front of me. The focus helps me to stabilize myself, works like a charm. I think the Horizon Balance Ball is far above the competition due to all the reasons I stated. Plus, I love their customer service team because they’re very helpful and courteous to me...hard to find nowadays. I’m so impressed with this product and I know other boomers will feel the same. In fact, your whole family will enjoy it too! I know mine does...
