* The stability ball*
If you have been to Body Sculpt at the studio, there is a good chance that you have used one of these in your workouts! There is SO much you can do with this piece of workout equipment! Next time you are in class...don't hesitate to ask if we can do your favorite exercises with a stability ball! If you have one at home, here are a few exercises you can try out..otherwise we will be doing these in the studio very soon!
Arms- Roll yourself on top of the ball so you end up in a push up position. The more you walk your hands out the harder you will work! You are also using your core to keep you balanced on the ball. Now bend at your elbows and do push-ups, as many as you can!
Legs- Place the ball between the wall and right above your waist. Walk your feet out so when you bend your knees they don't go past your feet, and keep the feet a little wider the hip width apart. Now roll your hips down to a squat, and come back up. 3 sets of 10!
Abs- Lay down on your back and grab hold of the ball by wrapping your legs around it. Keeping your knees bent, lift the ball up so you crunch your lower abdominal, maybe even lifting your hips up off the floor if you can. 3 sets of 15!
Stretch- Lay your back down on to the ball, drop your arms down to the sides and extend your legs out to your front. Relax here for a while, it should feel really good!
