A
yoga ball can be used for yoga practice as well as other core muscle
exercises. Working with a ball offers abdominal strengthening, improved
balance, as well as access to lower back muscles that are normally
difficult to reach for exercise purposes.
Some basic yoga ball exercises include back extension, ball balance,
butt lift, hip extension, ab roll, ball rotation, and ball twist.
Balls generally include instructions at the least and an instructional
video is the best way to learn ball exercises.
If you’ve never used a yoga ball before, it is best to get some
instruction about the best exercises to use and how to not hurt yourself
while using them. The balls can be a great addition to any workout,
but like other workout tools, they work best when you know how to
get the most out of them.
