Stability Ball Core Work
Posted by Laurie Stilwell in Stability Ball Core Work, THE CORE on April 23, 2011
Alright guys you asked and I delivered. I am here to demonstrate and teach you more core exercises. You don’t need fancy equipment to pull off these core exercises.
All you need is a stability ball. You can get a stability ball at places like Target, Sports Authority, and Amazon. They are inexpensive(20-30bux) and they last for ever…plus I will be showing you more exercises you can do with the stability ball in other blogs.
The first core exercise I want to show you is the STABILITY BALL GIVE AND TAKE :
Position A
Start in position A with your back pressed flat to the ground. Holding the ball, extend you arms over your head as you lower your legs towards the ground. Only lower your legs as you low as can while maintaining a flat back. If your back arches off the floor then you are going too low with your legs.
Position B
Next as seen in position B, GIVE the ball to your feet by grabbing the ball with your ankles. As pictured, be sure you are lifting your upper body into a crunch as you give the ball to your feet.
Finish the movement by lowering your legs towards the floor while holding the ball between your ankles and extending hands above head as seen below Position C. From there you go back to Position B and TAKE the ball back into your hands and start the entire motion over again. Start with 10- 15 reps.
Position C
