Hey kids! Do you know what an air column roll is? Sounds like a toy, but in fact, it’s a special type of tool that might be able to help keep you fit and strong. Why We Use An Air Column Roll For Exercise + More!
An air column bag is a long tube containing air, rather like a balloon. It’s floppy and squishy, but it’s really, really strong! When you sit, lie or balance on top of the air column roll, your body is encouraged to move in other ways. That can be super helpful for people in physical therapy, because it can make their muscles stronger and more flexible. It’s that fun workout you receive while you play!
Do you even know what your core muscles are? They are the muscles in your belly and in your back that help you sit up tall, stand up straight and move around easily. Performing the same exercise with an air column roll can make these muscles stronger still. You can sit atop the roll and roll back and forth, try some gentle exercises like lifting your legs or twisting your body. It’s a game that’s really fun, and that makes your body stronger!
That’s the sort of image you have to keep in your head when you walk.” An inflatable air column bag is kind of like that, but even better! When you sit or stand on the roll, you force your muscles to work to stabilize you and keep you upright. This can improve your posture, so you stand taller and straighter. And it can help you get better at balancing on one foot or doing other fun stuff.
What’s great about an air column roll is that you can use it in a ton of different ways. You sit on it like a chair, and you lie on it like a bed or you can even roll it under you back for a gentle stretch. You can use it to aid you in doing push-ups, leg lifts, or even yoga poses. It’s almost like a mini gym that you can take anywhere!
After a long day of games and work, your body may feel tired and achy. That’s where the air column roll can also help. You can also use it to gently massage your muscles and work out any tightness. Simply roll the air column roll up and down on your legs, back, and arms, and it’ll feel like a soothing, gentle hug for your body. If I have time to spend down before bed, it’s a great way to do it.
