Stirring The Pot With Exercise Ball

General And Specifics

• this stability ball exercise seems unimpressive, but it is very effective
• because of the instability of the gym ball, your abs have to do hard work to make sure you can do the exercise for a longer period of time

Starting Position

• knee on the ground in front of the gym ball
• bring your forearms on the middle of the ball
• the elbows are positioned right below the shoulders
• your back is straight
• brace your body and stretch out the legs to the backer
• the feet are hip width apart
• your body is in a line from head to toes now

Correct Execution

• make smaller (easier) or bigger (harder) rotating movements with your elbows respectively forearms
• do this slowly and controlled
• your body remains stable, while the ball rolls around below you
• as possible, do not let the core move
• do several circles in one direction
• afterwards, invert the direction and do the same number of reps
• do not let your hip sink down

tips for the workout

• do the exercise with the hands on the ball, if it is too easy to you (the shoulders are required more)
• do it on your knees to make it easier
