Life Fitness Pro 2 SE Abdominal Crunch

Advantages: Can do a variety of exercises on it

...the manufacturers could explain the desired firmness. Once inflated, the ball should be left to "rest" for a couple of days, then topped up with more air before use. You will now find inflatable plastic balls in almost every gym in the country and even on maternity wards, apparently they can assist mothers in labour. There are numerous videos and books on the market explaining the benefits of core stability and training. I work in the fitness industry and have attended several core training seminars and courses. Most people will use their ball for basic stomach crunches, but the beauty of this apparatus is that it can be used to exercise almost every muscle group in the body and may suit those who prefer to train using their own body weight as opposed to free or fixed weights machines. The ball can be used for squats, press ups, lunges... Read review

...together but this self-regulation only works up to a point. The weekday morning sessions (7am - 9am) tend to be extremely crowded as a knock of effect of the closure of Forest Hill Pool. Faster swimmers are likely to find the morning sessions frustrating as it becomes very difficult to overtake in the crowded narrow lanes. The weekday lunch time sessions (12pm - 1:30pm) are much better, although Mondays are a little busy ( due to everyone swimming off Sunday dinner) and on Wednesdays there is one less lane due to life guard training.
