Stability Ball Exercises with Weights Manual

For a better understanding of the numerous benefits of stability ball and free weight training, just imagine that when your body produces an action during any of your daily activities (carrying groceries, working in the garden, doing domestic tasks, dancing, playing outside, walking on slippery or uneven surfaces) all your body muscles work together as a unit and each one plays a specific role. In a typical strength training program with free weights, there are 3 different roles that muscles play when your body performs a specific action. Because a stability ball is used as base of support, a fourth role (balance stabilizers) is added and held by the lower back muscles, abdominal muscles and thigh muscles. These muscles work together to keep the body stable on the ball.
