Description
"The Fitness Balloon is a color manual of 39 exercises which are beneficial for children and adults of all physical and mental abilities. This unique exercise program uses a heavy duty punch ball type balloon (included) as a variable and progressive resistance device to increase endurance and strength. Photographs and clear instructions are included for each exercise. Therapist's Notes, BeneFacts and target muscle diagrams enable users to select the most appropriate exercises for their clients, their family members or themselves. Strengthening exercises are beneficial for everyone, especially when the exercises are as adaptable as those shown in this manual. These exercises improve core muscle stability, increase upper and lower extremity strength, enhance posture and improve coordination. The balloon's variable resistance allows patients of all ages to improve their physical condition no matter how weak they are when they start and to gain quick results with a safe and pain free program. Exercises are included for sitting, standing and supine positions."-- Fitness balloon website.
