Get That Six-Pack You Have Been Dreaming of!
Face it, you are not the only one that wants to have those firm abs. Nearly every individual out there dreams of having that six-pack. We were in the same situation as you, until someone pointed us towards one of those lovely exercise balls. With the ball, we learnt that we could do many different types of exercise ball ab workouts. Do those workouts really work? Of course they do! If they did not work, then we would not be here right now telling you that they work.
Apart from giving you those great abs, the exercise ball will help to strengthen the core muscles. This includes those hard to get to muscles such as the erector spinae and the TVA. The ball is also going to help you to improve your coordination and balance. When you first get your exercise ball, we recommend you starting the workouts that are for beginners.
As you advance in those workouts, you will be able to turn to different exercises that are more advanced. With those thoughts in mind, we definitely recommend you starting with the beginner ab workouts.
Start by holding the ball against the wall with your back. As you are doing this, bend your knees into sitting position. When you reach sitting position, count to ten, then go back up to normal. You should repeat these anywhere from eight to fifteen times.
You should avoid any type of moves that cause you pain. You should always consult with a doctor before you start exercising. This is to make sure you do not have any existing conditions or injuries.
The backup extension is another exercise that will strengthen your abs. Lie with your back on the floor with the ball under your hips. With your hands behind your back or behind your head, roll down the ball. As you are doing this, lift your chest off of the ball. Bring your shoulders up until you have positioned your body in a straight line. Make sure you do not hyperextend your back as you are doing this.
The ball balance is another popular one that allows you position the ball under your abs and hips. Your hands and legs will be straight and off of the floor. You should hold this position for about thirty minuts as you keep your body straight in line and your abs pulled in. As you keep your balance, raise your right arm out to the side and hold it there for a couple of seconds. Return it back to normal and repeat it with your other arm. This one is a bit more tougher than it looks.
