]]> If you’re looking to get into shape and develop a powerful core, then a medicine ball can go a long way to help you achieve your fitness goals. Here are the best medicine ball core workouts that you should try out.

Deadbug Pullover

Lay with your back on the floor and hold the medicine ball directly above your chest. Bend your knees into a tabletop position. Keep your torso still as you reach your arms and legs away from your torso before gradually bringing them back into their original position.

Seated Leg Raise

Sit on the floor with your knees bent and keep your legs together. Place your medicine ball on the right of your feet and press your palms into the floor alongside your torso for some stability. Lift your legs up over the ball and tap down before doing the same on the other side.

Russian Twist

Lie down on your back with your knees bent at almost 90 degrees. Hug the medicine ball close to your chest and twist your shoulders from side to side while remaining stable. Include a ball bounce after each rep for an added challenge.

]]> Doing the same exercises for your abs can get boring and it can stop you from feeling the effects, so it’s time to change it up. These four effective abs exercises will bring the intensity and you will definitely be feeling the results tomorrow.

The Woodchop

You can do this exercise with a dumbbell, medicine ball, kettlebell, or weight platter. Stand straight and step your left leg slightly back, and hold the weight with both hands above your head on the right side. Twist your torso and bring the weight down all the way across the body to the left side in a “chopping” motion, exhale on the way down. Return to the start and do 15 reps on each side.

Stability Ball Saw

This exercise might not seem like it does a lot but once you get started and do the correct technique you will feel it working. Start in a plank position with your forearms on a stability ball, keeping your core tight and your body straight. Move your forearms forward and backward in a sawing motion for 30 seconds.

Glider Mountain Climbers

Start in a plank position with both feet on gliders. Make sure to engage your core and then bring your right knee forward between your hands, using the glider. Bring it back to the start position and then bring in the left knee. Keep alternating for 30-40 seconds.

Kneeling Abs Rollout

You can do this exercise with an ab wheel or a small medicine ball. Kneel on a mat and place the wheel or medicine ball on the floor in front of your body and place both hands on top. Keeping your hips high, roll out as far as you can, keeping your core tight. Bring the ball/wheel back to the start position and do 10 reps.

]]> Working out with equipment can make your exercises more intense and encourage you to do more. Medicine balls have been around for so long, but people tend to underestimate their power. This fitness accessory can be used in so many different ways. These are the top 5 reasons why you should try it.

Stretching

You can use this ball during your stretches to make them more effective. By including weight to the stretch, the parts of the body that you’re stretching stay in one place and you end up challenging yourself even more. This comes hand in hand with increased flexibility.

More Power

Exercises done with this ball will help you build muscle and become more powerful. Many of the workouts with a medicine ball are dynamic, so you’ll need to use force and power to move the ball. It’s all about fast and strong movements.

Balance

If you’re looking to improve your balance, this ball is one of the best ways to do it. While doing the exercises you will be challenged to be more coordinated and balanced.

Rehabilitation

Medicine balls are used during rehabilitation after injuries. Patients start with a light ball and work with more weight throughout the process.

Versatile Workouts

There are so many amazing exercises to do with this ball!

]]> The fitball is a workout essential everyone should have at their home gym, but that doesn’t necessarily mean everyone knows how to use it properly. Here’s a couple of common mistakes many people make in the beginning.

Wrong Ball

Exercise balls come in different sizes, and it’s important to pick one that fits your height. The inflation level of your ball is also extremely important. A slightly deflated ball won’t be effective, but you won’t be able to sit on it if it’s too inflated.

Lack of Stability

Finding the right balance is one of the most challenging parts of exercising with a fitball. The best way to overcome this issue is to start things slow and move to more complex moves once you mastered the basics.

Bad Posture

Bad posture has the power to ruin any workout, and that’s certainly the case with your exercise ball routine. Working out with a trainer who’ll demonstrate the proper form is always a good idea, but you can also find many useful tutorials online.
