CanDo Donut Balls - Fabrication Enterprises

Product Overview

CanDo Donut Exercise Balls are a great tool for children and adults to use to increase strength, stability, coordination, and balance. These donut-shaped balls are somewhat flat on two sides, so they are more stable and easier to use than traditional balance balls, yet because they are uneven, they still make the sitter work core muscles to use them. This makes the CanDo Donut Ball an especially good option for children who could benefit from sitting on a medicine ball but who may have difficulty doing so on a completely round ball.

The semi-flat, semi-rounded design of these balls also gives them a diverse range of uses. While their flat end is great for sitting and kneeling, their rounded ends make them great for active exercise. Their shape also makes them a great addition to any yoga or pilates routine. For kids with special needs, they are also perfect for sensory play. They can also be used in a wide variety of settings, including homes, outdoors in parks or at the beach, at desks in schools, or in gymnasiums. Owners of CanDo Donut Balls will find endless fun, energy-releasing uses for their exercise balls.

These balls are made out of durable PVC that is completely latex-free to protect those with latex sensitivities. This PVC creates anti-slip traction to help protect their users from slips and falls. CanDo Donut Exercise Therapy Balls come in five different sizes, each coded with their own particular color, so exercisers of almost any size can find their perfect fit. Balls have a 300-pound weight limit, yet they weigh just two pounds, so they are easy for kids and adults to carry. Air pumps are sold separately.

Who Would Find This Product Useful?

Balance balls are a great tool or anyone who wants to improve core strength, balance, and stability. They also provide an alternative way to sit that encourages better posture and body positioning than chairs and are sometimes used for physical therapy. But for many, the CanDo Donut Balls are not the only benefits of using a balancing ball for sitting for long periods. The Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and other organizations recommend the use of balance balls for children with ADHD who have trouble focusing in school.

Studies published by the American Journal of Occupational Therapy and the Mayo Clinic have found that allowing children with ADHD to bounce on balancing balls increased physical activity and helped improve their attention and performance. Other studies have found balance balls helped children with Autism improve their social skills, cognition, and motor skills.
