Get On The Ball To Burn – Fun Ball Exercises For Weight Loss

August 21, 2012 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

 

 

Using ball exercises to workout and get lean is a fun way to mix up you workout, work your core, and get you back into shape.   I love to do these because they seem to be more fun then the other boring machines and plain ‘ol weights.   Below you will find some of my favorite ball exercises.   There are 2 ways that you can do them.

 

  1. Circuit Fashion –  Do each ball exercise, one set, then continue in to the next exercises.  Once you have finish one set of each exercise you can rest!   Do 3 -4 rounds total.
  2. Standard –                Do 3 – 4 sets of each exercise with a 30 -45 second rest in-between.
