Rhythmball Giveaway!!

September 28, 2008 by Kelly Turner

Tai-ji Ball, or Rhythmball, was one of the newest Olympic sports in 2008.

According to the Rhythmball website, www.rhythmball.com, Rhythmball combines:

  • the centuries-old circle-and-arc movements of Tai Chi
  • the competitive aspects of Lacrosse and Badminton
  • the social dynamic of Hacky Sack
  • more than a pinch of kinetics!
  • for a one-time cost of less than half a month’s gym fees!
  • Developed by China’s Olympic boxing coach to help the disabled improve their musculature, Rhythmball is open to all ages, ambulatory and non-ambulatory.

    Keeping a sand-filled ball on a latex paddle while swinging your arms is exciting and challenging. Reaping the benefits of Chinese exercise makes Rhythmball all the more rewarding.

    Watch the pros in action (this guy is ridiculously good.)

    I gave it a shot, and in all honesty, I’m not very good at it. BUT it’s highly addictive and fun, and gets the heart rate up if you really get into it.

    Rhytmball.com has given me 1 complete Rhythmball set with DVD, along with a handy carrying case to giveaway to one lucky reader.  To win the set, all you have to do is leave a comment, and I’ll pick a winner at random next Monday, October 6th.

      Wow, that is actually really cool. I want one!

    2. AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA, that looks so fun!! I want one simply because that seriously looks like something I’d be roaming around the house doing with random everyday items, haha.

    3. Kelly Turner says:

      its so much fun. i took it over to a friend’s house and everyone was fighting over it. A few people lost their privledges, though, because they kept hitting the ball with the paddle which is a sure fire way to break it.

    4. ttfn300 says:

      hmm, an olympic sport?? and bowling still isn’t considered a sport…

    5. Brooke says:

      Now that could be a lot of fun to whip out at parties!

    6. Zandria says:

      Rhythmball! Sounds a little crazy. But also fun. It’s cool how there are so many different ways out there to be active (including things we’ve never heard about!).

    7. zoe says:

      hello! a few days ago you menchoned that someone was going to be answering questions like that one about how much breaky you have to eat to jump start your metabolism?? I was just wondering if that question has been answered yet because i would really love to know that one.
      thanks!

    8. Kelly Turner says:

      How cool is that?!

      I can just see myself now in the parking lot of my apartment complex… I’d look so special! haha :) But I know I definitely shouldn’t try it inside because I’m sure to break something.

      I love it!

      Sounds like it would be a great aerobic activity and I am always looking for new fitness activities to try to keep myself challenged. Looks great!

    22. SeaBreeze says:

      Was this actually an olympic sport? Interesting…

    23. Merry says:

      At first, I didn’t see the little ball in the video. “Hey, that guys just waving a paddle around. I could do that… oh. Maybe not.”

      Still, looks like it would be fun trying to learn :)
