Effective Exercise Ball Workouts

Mary Jane Dempsey asked:

The exercise ball has become a widely use exercise equipment, that aid in the strengthening, flexibility and balance of the users. The ball causes the body to adjust to the ball’s instability, and in order to stay balanced the muscles have to contract. This process does not occur on a flat surface. The core muscles, muscles found in the abdomen and back, are the most effected while using the ball.

There are many exercise that you can do with the Swiss ball. One exercise the aids the abdominal muscles are crunches. By placing your lower back at the top of the exercise ball, you will need to become stable. When you are stable (meaning that you aren’t wobbling around on the ball), start pulling your top half of your body upward. Do these while you keep your feet firmly planted on the ground.

Another wonderfully effective workout to do with the ball, are knee tucks. This is done by starting in the push up position with the ball underneath your shins. You will then cause the ball to roll toward your hand by tucking your knees underneath your body. This will cause your back to bend and your abdominal muscles to engage.

Floor planks are a challenging exercise that targets the core muscles. Doing these planks with an exercise ball makes this workout much more challenging and effective. The position of the exercise ball plank is similar to the floor plank except you balance your forearms on the ball. To make this even more challenging, make small movements in all directions and try to hold your balance.
