How to use an exercise ball to supplement workouts when the gym is not available

An exercise ball is a versatile piece of equipment that can be used to supplement workouts when the gym is not available. Here are some of the ways you can use an exercise ball to get a great workout at home:

  • Core exercises: The instability of the exercise ball makes it a great way to challenge your core muscles. Try doing crunches, planks, and bird dogs on the ball to strengthen your abs, obliques, and back.
  • Strength exercises: You can also use the exercise ball to do strength exercises for your upper body and lower body. Try doing push-ups, squats, and lunges on the ball to build muscle and strength.
  • Balance exercises: The exercise ball can also be used to improve your balance and coordination. Try doing exercises like the half-kneeling ball squat and the side plank on the ball to challenge your balance.
  • Stretching exercises: The exercise ball can also be used to stretch your muscles. Try doing exercises like the hamstring stretch and the quad stretch on the ball to improve your flexibility.

If you’re new to exercise balls, start with some basic exercises and gradually increase the difficulty as you get stronger. It’s also important to listen to your body and take breaks when you need them.
