Fitness Friday-Get on the Ball!

Hi all!  Welcome again to Fitness Friday!!  This week I have gone back to an oldie but goodie for my ab workouts this week....the ball!  I had forgotten how much this little round thing can really bust your abs!  I didn't feel too tired after I did it but then the next day I was definitely feeling it!  Here are four different exercises that you can do with the ball.  The ball can totally add a challenge to anything that you are doing on the floor, pushups, crunches, squats, chest press, back extensions....you name it!  I know these are nothing new but wanted to bring you back to an oldie but goodie! You'll have to excuse the blurry pics....gotta love a timer!






What do you use the ball for that you just love?

    Recently I read to add a ball to plank routines. I'm gong to try it. It's amazing how much difference adding the ball can make.

    Thanks for linking up with FItness Friday and have a great weekend!

    I'm impressed. Haven't done many exercises that involve the exercise ball. Those look tough!!

    I am scared to even try the first one...my ball is a little flat. I use my flat ball to do pushups as well! Nice job lady..love the tank!

    Well I have a ball. Unfortunately I use my hand weights to prop it in place so it won't roll away. Silly I know. I should either use it or get rid of it! I'm glad there are people of there that really do use it though!

    But then, if I had your balance I might dare a proper jacknife! Impressive!
