hi I’m Veronica watchmojo.com and today
fitness expert Shelley McDonald is
introducing us to the vendor ball
workout what is the bender ball mostly
what the bender ball does is it helps
you stabilize when you’re doing any kind
of exercise from abdominal work to hip
work to upper body work but it’s very
unique because instead of having a great
big surface you have a smaller surface
so you have to really really stabilize
yourself before you do any of the
exercises how does this add to your
workout
most people muscle through all their
exercises they use momentum and they’re
you know thinking oh this doesn’t hurt
at all but with bender ball what’s
unique about it is that you really need
to be in a certain alignment and it’s
all about muscle firing patterns this is
the bender method so to speak alignment
proper muscle contractions and stability
before mobility let’s say from a health
standpoint how important is it to have a
strong core it’s really much more
important than what people think because
the core is where most of your movement
should generate from you should have
stability in the spine before most
movements because when you’re not stable
in the spine the quality or your
movements is iffy and you develop your
muscles in a way that can create
injuries over time what bender ball is
really all about is you know getting you
to feel the movement be very mindful of
each movement use your breath and use
contraction and stability through the
spine before you do anything now we said
that it works the core but does it also
work out the rest of your body there’s a
multitude of exercise that you can do
that you know work around the core but
also get the upper body to get the legs
especially the upper thighs muscles
around the shins show
holder’s everything what is a bender
ball workout class like most bender
balls varies controlled and very similar
to Pilates although it’s not Pilates
it’s the bender method in that you have
to really think before you move because
if you don’t and you don’t get yourself
in the proper alignment you’re not
probably not gonna balance and get
through the exercises is there anything
else we should know before we try out
this workout I went to this workshop to
be a master trainer and I was in such
pain my neck my back and I couldn’t even
sit still in the chair and after we did
all the exercises I was completely
pain-free it wakes up muscles that need
to be woken up and it realigns
your shoulders your neck your pelvic
girdle or wherever your problems lie
just because you are in proper alignment
executing these exercises and training
them in a way that’s really healthy for
the body so it can be a rehabilitation
type thing – well thank you very much
that’s great you’re very welcome
