Stability Ball Workout
Filed Under Exercise · Tagged:
What is it about a ball that is so much fun? Perhaps it’s our inner child. Just about any exercise you do using a bench you can also do on a stability ball, and some stability ball exercises stand on their own.
Exercises using the stability ball engage the core muscles, which not only work out your abs, but are essential for good posture and balance as well.
Be sure your ball is full of air. It should be very firm when you push your hand down on it. Having less air in the ball will allow a greater surface touching the floor making it easier to balance on.
Here is a 5 exercise circuit workout using the ball. Do 10 repetitions, on each side if it is a single sided exercise. Repeat the circuit 3 times. Have fun, and let me know how it goes! If you are enjoying these workouts and want them more specific to your goals and abilities, I can make Custom Workouts Designed just for you!
