Doing a full body workout today with a Stability Ball!
Full Body Stability Ball Workout
You can do so much with a stability ball. If you don’t have one or access to a stability ball at the gym, I strongly recommend you purchase one. In this video, we’re going to focus on a few, concentrated over-all-body core exercises with the stability ball.

Place the top of your foot on the stability ball with your base leg planted on the floor, and squat down while driving (pushing) the ball backwards. You will take it down and back up, feeling it heavily in your glutes, using that base planted heel to drag you in. You can keep your arms out in front of you to help with balance. Switch sides and repeat on the other side.
Shoulder Raises
Stand up tall, placing your feet shoulder width a part, holding the ball out in front of you and lift ball above your head. You want to concentrate on making slow, controlled movements, really squeezing that ball between those hands. You should feel this working in your shoulders and back. Try to start with 10 repetitions.
Combination Chest and Abs
Take your hands down into push up position with your feet on the ball. Push up and then knee tuck the ball in toward your abs.
Pike
If you can, transition into this next move. Stay in push up position, with your toes on the ball, push back with your hands, working your shoulders and take it into a pike position.
Hamstrings
Lie down on your back with your calves resting on ball, lift your glutes up into bridge position, keeping your triceps planted on the floor and pull the ball in toward your butt, squeezing your hamstrings and glutes. And on that very last one, bring it in and HOLD. You can do this! And don’t forget to stay hydrated!!!!
