If you are a fitness instructor or coach, you can probably think up many things to do with a stability ball. You can use them for sit-ups, push-ups, and squats. You can balance on the ball or use it as inner-thigh resistance in Pilates. There are a myriad of things you can do with these sturdy fitness toys, but the e-book Fitness Games can teach you to see a stability ball in a completely new light.
Fitness Games is based on the concept that fitness boot camps would be better if they were more fun. Imagine teaching or attending a class that was just as physically challenging as a typical 5 A.M. boot camp class but was a whole lot more fun. Fun is an essential human motivator. If something makes us feel bored and humdrum, whether that's a job, a book, or an exercise class, we are likely to quit. However, if we can be stimulated mentally, work in a competitive, supportive environment with others, or just laugh, we are much more likely to stick with something.
If you could spice up your boot camp class with more high-energy fun, don't you think you would have better luck getting and keeping students? Alternatively, if you're a bootcamp participant, don't you think you would be more likely to get out of bed an hour early for a class that was fun as well as challenging?
