Guest guest Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Great Workouts Add a Stability Ball Stuck in a fitness rut? Try adding a stability ball (also known as a Swiss ball) to your routine. Originally used in physiotherapy, these inflatable, burst-resistant orbs are now incorporated into flexibility, core-conditioning and strength-training routines. Some ideas to get you started: Use the ball as a stretching aid by draping your upper body over it, facing up or down, and let gravity take over. Hold it between your legs while doing raised-leg crunches. Sit on it while watching television or bring it to work and use it at your desk–it forces you to adopt good posture and engage core muscles, simply to remain upright. Tip: You can find special workout tapes at your library or bookstore for more stability ball exercises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
