It is a round balance disc filled with air, which serves as a tool for special posture correction and muscle development. It is suitable for the performance of different exercises as well as a seat balance disc. It activates and strengthens the spine muscles responsible for keeping the body posture. It highly improves core stability and motor coordination.
It optimizes your posture, relieves the spine, and it is an excellent tool for people suffering from
back and low back pain.
Using the balance disc improves dynamic balance and stability. The balance disc ensures a steady and moderate pressure onto the tuber ischii, the sacrum and the vertebrae above it.
The dynamic balance disc exercises (seat balance disc, Balance Disk) reduce muscle tension, stress, fatigue, and - last but not least - firm and tighten the muscles. They are ideal for leg and foot massage because they increase blood circulation.
The balance discs are self-inflating. Their hardness can be adjusted and personalized.
A similar effect can be achieved with the help of another training device, for instance the BOSU ball.
The BOSU fitness device is an inflatable rubber hemisphere used to perform special balancing exercises while standing, sitting, lying down, or kneeling. The BOSU user is not only engaged physically, but also mentally focused. The BOSU is a device that develops skillfulness and core trunk muscles, but one can jump and hop on it while having to keep the balance all the time.
The Togu jumper is a sport device with a similar effect.
The Jumper provides extra fast figure improvement and maximum movement experience!
Its design takes into account the shortcomings of earlier developments, thus the device ensures the greatest possible efficiency in the development of balance.

From among the above-mentioned and presented devices, we have chosen to demonstrate the exercises performed on the dynair balance disc and the balance exercises performed on the fit-ball, because, on the one hand, they are the cheapest products, on the other hand we believe these exercises are most applicable in school physical education.
The DYNAIR balance disc is a perfect seat balance disc which can be used to compensate for the prolonged static sitting, while the ball can substitute the chair, so that the static pressure on the lumbar spine may have smaller effect on the body.
I have grouped the exercises on the balance disc according to body positions and described them according to the principle of gradualness. I asked two elementary school students (Blanka Béres, 4the grade, and Édua County, 1st grade) to demonstrate the exercises. They had not practiced them prior to the recording and thus performed the exercises for the first time.
