Working out at home can be a ball—if you have a stability ball.
Adding to , Exercise Specialist Ben Watson, with ‘s Healthy Weight Center, has a few more beginner workouts you can add to your routine.
Who needs to go to a gym when you have all you need right at home?
Stability Ball Rollouts
Kneeling on a pillow, place your forearms on the stability ball.
Slowly lean forward and roll arms over the ball.
As you extend out, you should feel your stomach tighten up.
Only go as far as you are comfortable with.
The goal is to keep a straight line between the knees and shoulders.
Pull the ball back to the starting position.
To change the difficulty:
- Easier – Position arms higher up on the ball.
- Harder – Position arms farther down the ball.
Complete 10 to 15 repetitions to start and add more as you progress.
Stability Ball Glute Bridge
Lean lower back up against a stability ball on a wall.
Feet should be roughly shoulder-width apart.
Slowly bend knees and lower body towards the floor.
Slowly return to the starting position.
Try one or two repetitions and adjust feet farther or closer to the wall to find what’s comfortable.
Only go as far down as you are comfortable with.
The knees should track over the feet and avoid collapsing in.
Complete 10 to 15 repetitions to start and add more as you progress.
