Bender Ball

The Bender Ball allows you to work your core in ways you can’t do with standard crunches or large exercise balls. The Bender Ball has been documented with the Journal of Applied Research and studies have shown that by utilizing the Bender Ball it will generate 4 times the work in an abdominal crunch per each second of exercise.  This unique workout incorporates Leslee's Selective Stabilization method to bring you the best possible results.  Experience the Bender Ball for yourself and see why it truly is "The Little Ball That Does It All"!    

• Each Bender Ball comes with 2 Plugs & 2 Straws and 1 Instruction Flyer.

The Bender Ball was developed by Leslie Bender who is an International presenter and Master trainer.  For 8 years, Leslie had been working hard trying to discover new and effective ways to train the core.  “Selective Stabilization” methods use balance to work all the abdominal muscles.  Meaning, this method allows you to relax muscles not involved in abdominal strengthening so your abdominal muscles can work harder.  Our society has gone cardio crazy and has forgotten the benefits of training core muscles, which are the foundation for all movements including those movements, which help keep our posture healthy.  Without strong core muscles, your extremities have to work twice as hard to accommodate for the core’s weakness, therefore putting undue stress on them.

 The Bender Ball will generate 4 times the work in an abdominal crunch per second of exercise.  In a regular crunch there is no extension but with the Bender Ball behind your lumbar region the degree from flexion to extension is increased from 50 to 90 degrees which is 408% more effective to be exact!  This amount of work cannot be accomplished with standard floor crunches or with the Swiss Ball due to its larger diameter and size, thereby giving the Bender Ball a significant advantage in working the muscles harder and at a better range of motion.  

The Bender Ball is soft enough, about 9 inches in diameter and can be tucked under the tailbone to perform those exercises with legs moving up and down parallel to the floor without flexing your back.  Before this invention, clients with back issues could not perform such exercises due to the arching of the back and the stress it caused.  The ball is can withstand 300 lbs of weight and can be used for not only abdominal exercises but for a full body workout Pilates style and cardio training.
