Have A Ball Exercising At Home

Exercise ball routines are great ways to fit a little exercise into a busy day because you can do them at home. Keep your exercise ball inflated and ready to go, and you can fit in some fitness while waiting for the laundry to be done, or during the commercial breaks of your favorite TV show.

One of many exercises to increase balance is the Plank Pike. Here’s how to do it:

-Start with your hands on the floor in line with your shoulders, and get into a push-up (plank) position with your shins on the ball.

-Raise your hips towards the ceiling and use your legs and abs to roll the ball towards your middle.

-Hold for two counts, and then lower down to the starting position.

-Focus on pulling your navel in towards your spine and keeping your head centered between your arms as you move in and out of the inverted V position.

-Repeat 10 times.

Power Up Pilates Exercises With Fitness Balls

Fitness balls are often used as part of a Pilates routine, and some types of fitness balls are called Pilates balls. There’s no 'one and only' Pilates ball, but the ball most often used in Pilates exercises is a small ball approximately 9 inches in diameter, such as the FitBALL® Mini.

One way to work a Pilates ball into your home exercise routine is by using the ball to add resistance to a standard crunch. Here’s how to do it:

-Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor.

-Place a Pilates ball between your upper thighs, just above your knees.

-Cross your arms over your chest.

-Lift your torso up into a crunch, keeping your head in line with your spine, and squeezing the ball with your thighs.

The small size of a Pilates ball makes it a handy piece of home exercise equipment, and it’s good for travel, too.
