Finally, a cool use for the “Physio” ball

I don’t have a lot of time for these balls, but, I really like the non-linear motion, the fluidity, balance, and joint mobility these drills develop.

Not sure this proves their point but it is interesting.

It would be more interesting if they had the same talkshow host and a bodybuilder who trains muscles in isolation and a MMA fighter who does compound exercises and ran the demonstration. I suspect that the results would be the same however. In which case this demonstration would be showing something else.
