Stability Ball Exercises

It is always good to have new ways to do the same exercises to keep the body guessing & challenged. Using the stability ball to do this is a great way to not only work a specific body part but also work the core & glutes at the same time. For example, in this picture, you see a chest press but by using the stability ball, you also work the core to stabilize your body and if it was me, squeeze the glutes at the same time!!!!!! You can do many exercises using the stability ball like lying triceps extensions with dumbbells, weighed ball or weight plates; chest flyes; shoulder presses or lateral raises or reverse flyes for rear delts; preacher curls and the list goes on!
