Best Ab Exercises With Ball - Great Exercises For The Abs

Exercise balls have been used successfully for a while now and are still a very good way to work out with minimal equipment. The use of an exercise ball will greatly assist the development of a well developed core in addition to working other muscle groups. This will assist in overall weight loss by burning additional calories both during and after exercise.

To develop a great six-pack requires more than just doing endless sit-ups and leg lifts and hoping that they will materialize. The range of workouts that can incorporate ball work is huge but some of the best ab exercises with ball are detailed below:-

Best Ab Exercises With Ball # 1

It is good to begin with an exercise that is similar to a normal press-up but with your hands up on the ball. Balance up and then slowly raise one leg up towards your chest as far as is comfortable, pause and repeat with the second leg. Do around 15 repetitions but don’t overdo this if you are new to a program.

Best Ab Exercises With Ball # 2

This exercise begins in the same position as #1, and you then drop your weight down and extend the arms, say 8-10 inches. This will work the shoulder area and should be held for around a minute if this can be done without over-straining. Have a break of thirty seconds and then repeat for 15 repetitions.

Best Ab Exercises With Ball # 3

The third exercise also starts with the press-up position, but instead of the hands being on the ball, the feet are placed there instead. Pull your feet in toward you which will raise your hips and tighten the abs. Once more do again 15 times.

Best Ab Exercises With Ball # 4

For this exercise we sit on the ball, move the feet forward a little so that the ball is now supporting the mid to lower back area. Give your neck some support with your hands and then you will now make the same action as you would for a sit-up. This exercise will work the upper abdominals more than the lower.

Best Ab Exercises With Ball # 5

Repeat the #4 exercise but this time instead of sitting up straight you will twist to one side as you sit up. Go back to horizontal and then twist to the other side while sitting up. Ideally you will not sit up fully but will be able to maintain some tension on the abdominals before repeating.

Best Ab Exercises With Ball # 6

To work the lower abs begin with the ball between your legs. Put you hands behind you to provide some support. Then straighten your legs out in front of you, then lift a little towards your chest. Let your legs down without the ball coming into contact with the floor before raising them again.

As discussed at the beginning, there are many exercises that can be undertaken using the ball and there are no real best exercises with ball. How-ever these detailed will specifically target the abdominal area and will be a great start.

Gofit 75Cm Exercise Ball $22.49 The GoFit Exercise Ball is a fun, yet challenging way to stretch, tone and tighten your body. What makes the GoFit Ball so challenging? Unlike training on a stable, flat surface, the ball is a round, unstable surface, so you not only train the primary muscle groups, but also the smaller stabilizing muscles as well. The stabilizing muscles are small, yet very important muscle groups primarily used for balance, alignment and posture. The ball total body workout is very efficient, allowing you to see the results you want in a much quicker period of time. Combine the ball workout with the GoFit cardio vascular jump rope program and resistance tube training and you have a complete workout that can be done anywhere, anytime, and at a very affordable price. As a general rule, the exercise ball should be large enough so that when you sit on it, your knees bend at a 90 degree angle. The 75cm ball is recommended for persons 6ft and over with a 1000lb weight limit. Not recommended for usage with weight training routines. Comes with ball pump, 2 ball plugs and an easy to follow exercise wall poster. GoFit Stability balls are made of rubber and contain no Latex.
