Stability Ball



The Stability Ball

Also known as Swiss Ball or Physio Ball, this is a wonderful piece of exercise equipment.  Light and durable it is easy to use once you get used to it.  There are dozens of different exercises that you can do on the "Stab Ball".  Here are a few of my favs:

Stab Ball Side Crunch

Side Crunch

Stab Ball Side Crunch is an excellent workout for your core - especially your obliques.  Plant your feet against the wall for a bit more stability.  Curl down sideways over the ball and then use your obliques to pull yourself back up.

Russian Twist

This exercise is really cool.  Holding a medicine ball or other weight, sit on and then roll out on a stab ball until your head and shoulders are on top of the ball.  Plant your feet firmly on the floor and press your hips up and hold them in a bridge.  Arms extended straight overhead, twist to one side and then back to the other...as fast as you can without flying off the ball.  Wicked workout for your core.  Even glutes and hamstrings get a good workout from holding this position.

Stability Ball Roll-Out

Stab Ball Roll-Out

Start by kneeling with the ball against your legs.  Hands on top of the ball close to your body.  Roll the ball away from you to full extension of your arms and then back in again.  Great workout for your abs.  Don't cheat by jamming your chest up against the ball.
