Ball Exercises For A Toned Body
One sure fire way to maximize your ab workout is with stability ball exercises. Ball fitness can be a challenge for anyone at any stage of fitness because it helps strengthen the core, improve balance, and aids in developing better posture. Stability balls or fitness balls have become a mainstay in gyms. Try it alone or take a group class. Anyone can benefit.
There are different exercise balls each allowing for variations in your ball training, but the large (usually 65 cm) stability balls work balance and core because of their unstable surfaces. The stability ball is a great conditioning tool that will give you noticeable improvements and results.
Fitness Tip:
Not sure how much to inflate your ball? Inflate it enough to sit down on it, then make sure your knees are at a 90 degree angle or more when your knees are bent and your feet are placed on the floor. You never want your hips and pelvis lower than your knees. Start to get comfortable sitting on the ball, then try lifting one foot off the ground and balancing. Repeat on the other leg. Make sure to engage your abs!
