Learn to balance on the fitball, Guaranteed

16 June 2010 455 views No Comment

We’ve all been in the gym trying to do the basic tummy exercises whilst some smart arse is balancing on the ball in some flashy way. Here I will explain how you too can join to ball poser group, all you need do is follow this guidelines and practice.  See the kneeling balance video on the exercise library page. Firstly the basics, kneeling on the ball on your hands and knees. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart and the ball resting against your shins. Place your hands, shoulder width apart either side of the highest point of the ball. Slowly rock forward until your feet leave the floor. TIP: use your hands to steer the ball and thus stabilize it. TIP: activate your core muscles (so hold your tummy in), this also helps stablize the ball. TIP: Don’t immediately try to keep the ball totally still, steer it around a bit to maintain your balance on it. Once you get the hang of it you should be able to kneel on the ball on all fours and keep it still. Good luck, let me know how it goes, feel free to call for any advice or help on 07980545324.
