Exercise balls have been around for some time now. They have various different names but they’re still exercise balls. They may be called Yoga, fitness, gym and other types of balls, but they are still fitness balls.The exercise ball started out as treatment balls for newborn babies but have somehow evolved into workout apparatuses for adults and young adults. There are a variety of exercises that can be done using the ball. Including exercises for the legs back shoulders, arms, stomach, calves.

 

 

I will cover some of the various types of exercises that can be done to get your body in shape using an exercise ball. In addition to that I will give you examples of what the exercises will look like when done correctly.  The exercises will help to tighten and tone your muscles, speed up your metabolism, and get you into the best shape of your life. Practice these exercises at least three times a week to see visible improvements. Exercising should be a lifestyle choice and not a fad. We will cover the exercises below to do for some quick results.

 

 

push up exercise with an exercise ball

Push Ups

 

Place the ball on the ground and get down on your knees and get your feet up onto the ball. Then you want to place your palms on the floor about shoulder width apart, and get into an upright position with your arm locked out all the way. The next motion would be to lower your upper body down to the floor and push back up using your arm chest and back muscles. Do three to four sets of as many reps as you can do. If you are not use to doing push ups or don’t already have a strong upper body you will not be able to do many at first but you will start to improve in a very short time. After you do this exercise you should start feeling your chest and arms begin to burn slightly.

 

 

lumbar exercise

Lumbar Flex

 

Using a similar position with the ball you will begin to do a lumbar flex. It will be the same concept with palms about shoulder width apart or a little wider on the floor, and your legs extended straight back in a line. With your body at about a 180 degree angle. Then you will use your back muscles and bring your feet from 180 degree angle up to a valve A 150 degree angle by flexing your feet back up with your back muscles, then go back to 180 degrees(a straight line with your body. You will start to feel the burn in your lumbar region of the back. This is a great overall back exercise for strengthening and toning. Again do what you can at first until you can do many, but always try to do three to four sets to begin.

 

 

squat exercise with a ball

Squats

 

Place the exercise ball against a wall and stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart. You will then use your back to roll the ball down as you squat down to where your knees and hips are in line, or about at a 90 degree angle then you will use your leg muscles and press back up until you are standing fully upright. You will repeat this exercise for 3 to 4 sets of as many reps as you can do, especially if you are a beginner. This is a powerful exercise which you will begin to see fast results if you do this exercise one or twice a week. This will also really harden your legs and speed up your metabolism more than most other exercises.

Squat Properly

Today we’re going to talk about one very important exercise, it’s called the squat which you can do anywhere, anytime.  Now you’ve got me to tell you how to squat, I will do the demo. Make sure your squat properly. Alright, what we are going to do is a standard squat – so what we’re going to do is put your feet out as far out as your shoulders, good, first things first get your posture in again, shoulders back a little bit, chest out, abs in, very good.  Now I am going to squat, I’m going to put a chair here first so that I know how low to go.  Go to about parallel, ok – so that your hands are forward, remember to keep your posture open, so your shoulder doesn’t come forward like you are going to pick something up off the ground – alright as you go down, your knees do not go beyond your toes.  So make sure you’re not doing that.  Ok now slowly, drop it down slowly, then go down- and up. Alright, ok, so, get it, right now we’re going to try it again.  Now he’s going to control, don’t sit down, okay, down slowly, keep your knees, yep, so you can see his thighs powering his legs up.  There we go, so we work the quads, hamstrings and glutes.  Now to bring in the breathing, inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth.  Inhale, exhale blow and inhale down, exhale blow.  Once you’re ready you can remove the chair – and give it a try once you are comfortable. You can lean a little bit forward to counter balance, keep going, just keep going down, and inhale, then exhale as you rise back up.

 

The squat is great because it works the full lower part of your body, brings your cardio vascular up and is very good to do for your overall strength and stamina.  Now if you change and stop to make it harder you can put your hands behind your head, again keep your abs connected- and go.  Inhale slow down, exhale up.  Keep going, do about 3-5 sets of 10-12 reps at first until you get use to the movement.  if you want to intensify it a little bit you can give a full isometric hold for five seconds. Now drop to the bottom and hold, five, four, three, two and up.  So you can mix and match your routines.  Now if you reach the advanced level you can use weights.  Hang onto the weights in the bicep hold, again keeping your posture up, tighten the abs very well and drop down- and exhale up, nice, and go – and blow, good and down.  Power up. Exhale up, inhale deep and exhale fully and then take a break.  That’s it, ok? And that’s how you do a standard squat. Again, make sure you squat properly.

Get a Bigger Butt With Exercise

 This is a good butt exercise you can do at homeon your table or bed and as you can see I’m raising my legs up and down at a normal pace that’s not too fastand not too slow.  Now ladies, If all you want is a firmer butt that’s a little bit bigger then just do 2-to-6 setsof 15-to-30 reps 3-to-5 days per week. You can also do this exercise which is actually called reversereverse hyper extensions at your gym on a hyper extension bench just like this Now once 15-to-30 reps of thisexercise gets rather easy you want to hold each rep for 2-to-5 seconds and during those 2-to-5 seconds you wanna really squeeze your butt muscles tight as if you’re trying to crush a grape between your butt muscles As I already said this butt exercise will only give a nice looking butt that’s little bit bigger & rounder so. . . 

 

If you want a much bigger butt like Kim Kardashian,CoCo, Beyonce or even big like mines then you’ll need to work this and other butt exercises but there is a way you can use this exercise to help you get a bigger butt just like mine or like Kim Kardashian, CoCo and Beyoncé and you do that by doing 1-3 sets of 15-to-30reps of this exercise before you begin your bigger buttworkouts that include exercises like hip thrust, butt bridgesand/or squats to pre-exhaust your butt muscles or your glutes to get an awesome butt workout where you’ll definitely really feel it more in your butt make sure whatever table or bed you use is strong enough to support youNow I weigh about 205 and this flimsy table is strong enough for me but to be extra safe in may be a good idea to have someone hold down the other end of the tableor put a weight at the other end of the table.
