Today, we bring in the stability ball which is the best tool to work your core, due to its curved shape. However, we will be working to stabilize and balance in this workout, placing more workload on our neuromuscular system.
This workout starts on the ground, with the ball used as a supportive tool for the legs in order to bring the lower back into the ground. Experience a new kind of "crunch" with the feet elevated on the ball to bring the lower back into the ground. Moving from here, experience new variations of leg raises, planks, knee lifts, seated squats, and ball crunches with added balance challenges. Dumbbells will be incorporated into several of these variations to keep you building muscle.
