11 Apr Leg and Glute Stability Ball Exercise
Hey there! I think it’s safe to say that one of the most common questions I get is “How to get my butt and thighs in better shape,” or what I like to call, “The Buth-thigh” area. One of the greatest ways to work the areas between the butt and thigh, is using a stability ball. So today, were going to focus on our hamstrings, glutes and inner and outer thighs. With that said, let’s go through these moves together!
Exercise 1: Pick up a stability ball, lay down on your back, place your heels up on the ball with your palms facing down beside you, lift your hips, squeeze engaging those glutes and slowly curl the ball back towards your butt by dragging heels inward, engaging those hamstrings. If you want to make it more challenging, you can always lift one leg off the ball, and pull your other leg in back towards your butt, working the hamstring. Note: Don’t forget to keep those hips up and don’t let your butt sink down.
Exercise 2: We’re going to focus on those glutes! Place your feet flat on the ball, lift your butt up and squeeze. While doing this exercise, you should also feel it in your hamstrings.
Exercise 3: Let’s attack those inner thighs! You’re going to wrap your legs around the ball and just squeeze in and out with tiny little pulses. Don’t forget to keep that lower back into the ground, keeping that pelvis tucked in and then finally, squeeze as hard as you can and HOLD it.
Exercise 4: This last one here is going to work your abs as well as your inner thighs. Staying on the floor, you’re going to squeeze your legs around the ball, lift in the air and bring it back down. Did you feel it? Keep going!
