Fat Burning Exercises Using A Fitness Ball
by Yuri in Fitness Training, Workouts
Having a look over the various fat burning exercises using a fitness ball that you can add into your program will help you make each workout you do that much more interesting and effective. Far too many people get caught up doing the same exercises over and over and over again in their fat burning workouts and while you may enjoy those exercises, eventually your body is going to stop responding.
In order to continually see great results, you must change it up a bit. The following fat burning exercises using a fitness ball will do just that.
Let’s have a quick look.
Ball Wall Squats
The very first exercise to consider adding into your circuit training workout are ball wall squats. For these you’re simply going to place a ball flat against a wall with your back towards the other side. Your feet should be approximately shoulder width apart balancing the body in a fairly upright position.
From there, bend at the knees and begin to lower yourself downwards until you’re at about a 90 degree angle and in the squat position. Hold this for up to one minute in length before resting and repeating again.
You’ll definitely get a good burn in the quads when doing this exercise, so really prepare yourself for that.
Captains Chair With An Exercise Ball
Second, another great exercise ball movement is the captain’s chair with the ball. If you want to target the abs, this is the exercise to do it with.
Simply place the exercise ball between the legs after you’ve positioned the body in the captain’s chair. Once you’re there and balanced, slowly lift the legs up until they are at a 90 degree angle with the hips.
Pause for a very brief second if you can and then lower back down.
Hamstring Curl With An Exercise Ball
Finally, the last exercise that you may want to consider adding to your program is a hamstring curl. This is a great option for anyone doing an at home workout who wants to target the back of the legs. To perform it, place the legs up on the exercise ball with the back towards the floor.
From there, roll the ball into the bum while bending the knees at the same time and elevating up the hips. Once you’re as far as you can go, pause for a brief second and then roll out once again.
If you can include all three of these exercises in your fat burning workouts, you should have no trouble getting leaner and boosting your overall strength benefits.
