Exercise Pilates Ball
How to use it: It's a good idea to have at least one of these pieces on you while doing Pilates or any other form of aerobic cardio, because they will be used several times throughout the day in addition to your regular routine of regular exercise. I'm also going to discuss two workout routines that are ideal for using this ball during each session. Each is very basic and all-in-one, so don't worry about building them out in separate parts of your routine. For example, if you're using it regularly in class, you won't need it every evening in your home gym; but if you're trying to figure out how to do it safely with no access to a fitness center, you'll want a piece for yourself. To maximize your benefits from using this ball, you'll need to get this piece into the following places before each session: Your Gym Equipment Drawer or Desk Bag (if the storage space isn't too big on your desk) Your Car In the car If the storage space you already have is too small, then consider storing some of the balls on your desk, drawer, or even right next to where you start your daily routine. You can easily grab them whenever you need them without having to spend time digging through a large pile of unused ball storage. Your Home Gym Equipment In the event you live somewhere where you don't have access to a treadmill, consider keeping some of the balls on your sofa. Make sure you have enough room between chairs so you aren't tempted to squat to the ball. Storing them just like you would other equipment will reduce the chance of you missing a new session! Storage Space When you have these balls, make sure you store them properly. Use plastic bags to keep them all separated. Be careful when packing them up. These are best kept out of the way so your workouts don't distract others from their work. Some people find it easy to lose track of which pair of dumbbells and/or weights are which, especially when they're changing things around every few minutes. The most important thing to remember is to keep the weight heavy enough that you feel comfortable using it. That being said, this shouldn't be an excuse to skip over sessions at the gym. Just be mindful of your body. Don't want to do anything else after just 30 seconds? Put it away! What's Important About Using One Fitness Ball and Why Should Anyone Worry About Not Having Access to Enough? With only a few different kinds and styles available, it's worth noting that there is nothing wrong with not doing the extra effort needed to use an exercise ball. Everyone knows the value of getting that type of resistance. There's something different in knowing you're doing something every day. And if you've got this exercise ball right in front of you, you're ready for whatever is coming at hand. Just take a look at what your training goals are and give it an honest assessment. Do you want more endurance in your upper back? More speed in your legs? Better balance and stability? This is just what you need. A little bit of this equipment may be a little bit much for others. Remember this is designed with you in mind, and that the product will help you achieve your goals and even more importantly, stay connected to your community. So make sure you're putting in as much effort or more of a push as possible. We've got to go!
The exercises you'll be using on a normal day With classes, it may seem a lot easier to simply hop on your stationary bike and ride it around for a couple hours at least. While that's certainly true for some, there's sometimes a benefit to setting aside 30 minutes each afternoon and opting for something that's more low-impact and easy to maintain. As far as exercises go, these three types are going to be the ones I've highlighted here. Bodyweight squats: Single leg deadlifts: Squats: Straight backflips: Planks: Front knee bends: Bent over rows: Burpees: Mountain climbers: Side lunges: Leg raises: Hip thrusts: Back and side planks: Dumbbell rows: Bench press: Upper back extensions: Seated row: Barbell rows: Cable rows: Glute bridges: Side lunges: Chest presses: Overhead press; sit-ups. Exercises and movements that are effective to increase flexibility and strength. Start with the movement you prefer to complete before you start thinking about adding another weight or exercising different muscles. Get to know what moves give you that extra oomph you need to hit that last set of reps. Try them out and be open-minded.
