27 Aug Full body stability ball exercises-VIDEO
There are a few fitness tools that I LOVE to use to help me progress my training but hands down, stability balls are the best! Here are some fun, do anywhere stability ball exercises.
Full body stability ball exercises
Stability Ball Exercise #1 for the Glutes and LEGS
- Start in a standing position with one foot on top of the stability ball. Remember to engage your core and always keep your balance.
- With your arms out in front of you, slowly lower your body while pushing the ball back with your shins. Your other leg will be in a squatting position and make sure to keep your knee right above your heel.
Stability Ball Exercise #2 for CORE, Abs and Shoulders
This one is a SCORCHER combination!
- Start in plank position with your shins and top of your feet on the ball.
- Pull the ball in toward you and tuck your knees toward your abs and push out.
- Then take it back into plank position and do a push up and repeat the sequence.
- On that last one, I want you to HOLD in plank position and take into a pike position with your toes on the ball and then roll all the way back so that your quads are resting on the ball.
If you can do this entire sequence, that’s amazing. But if you need to break it up, that’s okay too!
Stability Ball Exercise #3 for HAMSTRINGS and GLUTES
- Lie on your back, with your calves and heels resting on the ball.
- Lift your hips up and using your heels and your hamstrings, you are going to drag the ball toward your glutes and then push it back. That’s the first part…
- Now, place your feet on ball, lift those hips up (glute bridge) and down.
Hopefully, those hamstrings are burning at this point. And remember, it’s not how many; it’s what is intense for you! If it’s too easy, do more; if it’s too challenging, do less. You know what your body is capable of!
