Stability Ball Fitness

Hi Team,

Picking the right Stability Ball is crucial for a fitness class or the gym.  Here is an easy way to grab a stability ball and see if it's a good fit for your height.

• Find a well inflated stability ball and have a seat on top
• Legs should be at 90* angle on the ball
• Cue: "Legs even with hips and knees over ankles"
• Bottom should not be higher or sink lower than your knees

Here is one of many exercises you can do with your stability ball:

• Grab the stability ball and place it behind you - in the middle of your back, directly below the shoulder blades

• Take a small step forward
• "Toes point forward and shoulders stay down and back - hands can relax on the hips"
• Slowly lower your hips into a squat position

• Hips are even with knees and "we can still see our toes"
• Stand up back up the starting position
• Add weights if you want for intensity

Good luck and have fun with your stability ball!
