3 Ways to Use Your barre3 Core Ball Beyond Your Workout
The barre3 Core Ball is our favorite prop to shape the inner thighs, lift the seat, flatten the abs, and provide support for the low back. We use it in every studio class and in most online workouts to help us improve our posture, strength, and balance. Did you know that you can use your core ball beyond your barre3 workout too? Here are 3 functional ways to use your your ball outside of your workout!
1. The next time you go to the park to read or catch some sun, bring your core ball and use it as a pillow to support your low back or head and neck. The core ball is easy to deflate and won’t take up much space in your tote bag. You’ll sit so much more comfortably using it! And who knows? You may be inspired to bust out some some core work while you’re enjoying the beautiful summer weather.
2. It’s easy to become tight in your neck and shoulders from rounding forward over your computer all day. Sometimes people even develop headaches from all of the tension they’re holding in their upper body! The core ball can help. Place it behind your mid-back to help you sit tall and alleviate tension in your upper body. You’ll find it’s easier to engage your core and sit in an upright position. You may also find that you’re more productive and alert!
3. The core ball conveniently doubles as a children’s toy. We’ve witnessed this firsthand at our studios. Put a few core balls in the childcare area at our studios, and you’re guaranteed to inspire kids to move and play. The good news is, the ball is soft and won’t damage furniture or put marks on your wall, so it’s not the end of the world if inside play gets a tad rowdy!
