This workout incorporates the stability ball in lateral flexion exercises. It is the best tool to work your core, due to its curved shape. As we finish week three, the focus is learning to inprove joint stability and balance, placing more workload on our neuromuscular system.
This workout starts with some great sidebending exercises on the ball, then progresses to some standing balance exercises. We will incorporate the ball in some single side loaded squats and lunges! Sidelying leg raises, planks with elevated feet, and prone over ball back bends are just some of the fun and effective core exercises we will be doing in this workout. Dumbbells will be incorporated into several of these variations to keep you building muscle.
