For your convenience, we have commissioned
a range of videos to help clearly highlight the various
muscle groups exercised each time you use your
Powerball.
The faster the rotor speed during each of
these exercises, the greater the resistance (gyroscopic inertia) that is generated within the sphere
and the harder your muscles will have to work - thus the
more intense the workout!
If you are new to Powerball and regardless
of your current state of fitness, we recommend that you
start slowly and avoid over clocking those revs
at the very beginning! While it is a highly addictive
product to use, Powerball is also a superlative
fitness/strength building instrument and you should
immerse yourself in the experience gradually or it can bite!

Fingers & Grip
Strength
The Powerball will increase
your grip and finger strength when used at
moderate/high speeds as you have to maintain a
tighter grip at increased speeds. click
Wrist
Strengthening
No matter how you hold
the Powerball or at what speeds you operate it,
it is always working on increasing the strength
and dexterity of your wrists through the
constant exercise. click
