It seems every time we do a stability ball workout, we get more comments to create more! Today I have a hybrid workout using both dumbbells and the ball. We begin with lower body strength dumbbell exercises to lay the foundation. Then, towards the second half of the workout, we challenge our endurance with stability ball exercises. This will be a challenge because our muscles will already be in a fatigued state, yet required to recruit more muscle fibers and stabilizers to control the movement on an unstable surface. Fun, right?
I personally love incorporating the stability ball into many of my own personal workouts to develop greater core stability (which is always important, but a big focus on my postpartum journey!). It’s also great for improving coordination and flexibility.
And because there are too many good stability ball core exercises to pass up, I threw in a 4-minute finisher at the end to tie things up nicely.
How do you feel about ball workouts? Do you have a stability ball to use?
Let’s do this!

P.S. If you don’t have a ball or feel too unstable, many of the exercises can be modified to the floor or on a bench.
