Stress reduction exercises with TOGU fitness equipment

Progressive muscle relaxation is a proven method of reducing stress by tensing and then relaxing specific muscle groups. At TOGU you will find the perfect companions for these exercises in the form of the Redondo Ball and the Powerball. This fitness equipment not only enables effective muscle training, but also helps to release both physical and mental tension.

 

  1. Stress reduction with the Redondo Ball:

Lie on your back and place the Redondo ball under your feet. Now lift your legs and hold the tension for a few seconds before relaxing your muscles again. This exercise not only strengthens the leg muscles, but also promotes relaxation throughout the entire body.

 

  1. Relax your back with the Powerball:

Sit on the floor and place the Powerball between your back and a wall. Gently roll the ball up and down to release tension in your back. This massage exercise is ideal for relieving the stress of the day and strengthening the back muscles at the same time.

 

  1. Shoulder relaxation on the Redondo Ball:

Stand up straight and place the Redondo ball between your shoulder blades. Move slightly back and forth to release tension in your shoulders. This simple exercise helps to clear your focus and reduce stress.

 

  1. Balance training with the Powerball:

Stand on one leg and hold the Powerball in your hands. Try to keep your balance. This exercise not only promotes stability, but also distracts the mind and helps to reduce mental tension.

 

With these targeted exercises on the Redondo Ball and the Powerball, you can not only reduce stress, but also strengthen your muscles and promote general relaxation. Integrate these short sessions into your everyday life to create moments of calm and serenity in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

    Getting started with training does not begin with perfection, but with a simple principle: consistency beats intensity. Especially in everyday life, which is often full, hectic, and unpredictable, movement quickly becomes secondary. Yet this is exactly where the key lies: When movement becomes a natural part of your day, not only your body changes – but your overall well-being as well.

    Heavy Legs? – How the TOGU Senso Vein Trainer can help
    TOGU | 2 March 2026
    Heavy legs, feelings of tension, or tired calves in the evening – many people are familiar with this unpleasant problem. Those who sit or stand a lot, or who get little exercise, quickly notice that their legs become heavy and swollen. The cause can sometimes be a weakness in venous function: the blood doesn't flow back optimally, it pools in the legs – and this leads to the typical feeling of heaviness.

    In my daily work with horses and dogs, one aspect is always at the center of my approach: functional movement, body awareness, and sustainable stability. As a physiotherapist and osteopath, I do not work in a purely symptom oriented way, but focus on underlying causes. The goal is to restore physiological balance and support the body’s natural ability for self regulation. It is precisely at this point that the products of TOGU Animal come into use.

Whether ambitious runners or recreational joggers – the first run after winter often feels liberating.

    Menopause is a phase of life that every woman experiences – and one that is often accompanied by many changes. Hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, weight gain, or an altered body awareness are among the typical companions. At the same time, it is a phase in which women can gain an enormous amount: more body awareness, more strength, more stability, and a new understanding of their own needs.

    Ready for the slopes: preparing for skiing with the Dynair Balance Master
    TOGU | 8 December 2025
    Why preparation is important Skiing, whether alpine, cross-country, or ski touring, is one of the most popular winter sports, but it also poses particular challenges for the body. Joints, muscles, and coordination must work together perfectly to safely master stresses such as rapid changes of direction, jumps, or long descents. Those who start the season unprepared risk not only sore muscles, but also pain and injury. That's why it's worth training specifically before the first day of snow.
