Full Body Stability Ball Workout

If you read my Fitness Products Every Fitness Lover Should Own post, you know I think that Stability balls are pretty amazing! Not only can you use them for working out but you can also use them to sit at your desk! Sitting on a stability ball will work your posture, which is pretty amazing just like that. One other cool thing about stability balls, when a woman is in labor or trying to begin labor, doctors and/or midwives tell her to bounce and roll on a stability ball! How fun! I remember sitting on one while in labor with my daughter to try to progress the labor. She was stubborn and wanted a bit more help to come out. But that is a story for another time! HAHA!!

Anyway, back to working out. If you have a stability ball, you need to try this total body workout! It will work your stability (haha) and also your strength! If you do not have a stability ball yet, you can still do this workout without one! A stability ball will add more core strengthening to this workout.

Full Body Stability Ball Workout

For this workout, you will need a stability ball and some light to medium weights. If you do not want to use weights, you definitely do not need to. This full body workout will be 12-15 reps of each exercise with minimal rest in between. You will go through the circuit 3 times! Don’t forget to warm up and cool down and this workout will take you less than 25 minutes to complete! We all have time for that! 

See below the picture for steps on how to do each exercise!

One of my favorite things to do when working out is listen to music. Music pumps me up and gives me that boost I need to continue the workout! For a full body workout, I like upbeat music! I have a playlist that goes perfectly with this workout!
