If you’re like me, you’ve probably seen plenty of those fitness balance balls (I’ve heard them called Swedish balls too) at the gym. The personal trainers at my 24 Hour Fitness really like them. The newest rage seems to be doing all your weight training exercises while sitting, or even kneeling, on one of these. Something about developing core strength (which, as a karate student, I totally understand… still, they look a little silly kneeling on a ball to do biceps curls… I wonder how many of them are really thinking about their biceps). Anyway, as I was saying, you’ve probably seen lots of those fitness balls, but have you seen one shaped as a peanut?
I hadn’t until I stumbled across this one on the Amazon site. The picture looks, uhm, silly. But maybe it’s just me (it usually is). I’m not sure what the advantage is to a peanut-shaped ball, but if you want to take a closer look, here’s the link:
There you go. For only $50, you too can look like you’re swimming in between a couple of mooshed together fitness balls…
