Bender Ball Review

I’m one of those people who had tried almost every abdominal workout and equipment out there just to get flat abs. I tried crunches, and what it only did was hurt my back and neck. I didn’t really aspire to have perfect ripped abs, just flat and cellulite-free abs. But it’s so difficult, because most of those equipment and exercises that claim to make it easy to have flat abs don’t really work as well as they describe it.

Just recently, I heard about Bender Ball so I decided to try if it works. Bender Ball is this mini ball that can give you a workout to target your abdominal muscles. At first, I was skeptical, and I didn’t really think it would work since it was just like the regular mini ball that they use in gyms. But I was wrong. I watched the Bender Ball instructional DVD and followed instructions on core training for beginners, intermediate exercisers, and advanced exercisers. I did that for a month, and I immediately felt different. It might sound like an exaggeration, but it’s true. I really did feel like my abs was getting the workout it needed. Not just that, I was also having fun with the exercises.

So what does the Bender Ball have that other fitness equipment doesn’t? Well, first of all because of its size it’s easier to work with than large exercise balls. I can place it on the curve of my back and do crunches, and it doesn’t hurt my back or my neck. It’s great for balance exercises. And also, by using it I can bend forwards and backwards. In ordinary crunches I can only go forward. But with the Bender Ball I can fully flex my abdominal and back muscles.

After a month of doing the core training included in the Bender Ball DVD, I decided to proceed with the 22-minute Buns and Thighs workout. It was just as fun and as effective as the first workout. It had many exercises that not only targeted my stomach and abs, but my thighs as well. Now, it’s been a few months since I started doing the Bender Ball workout, and I’m still not getting bored with it. It’s still fun for me, and I can feel the positive effects it has on my body. It was definitely worth it to get the Bender Ball.
