This exercise targets: abdominal muscles and shoulders
For this exercise, you will need: an exercise ball
Stand with your feet aligned with your shoulders. Hold an exercise ball with both hands, so the ball is straight in front of you.
Rotate your torso to one side, keeping your eyes on the ball as you rotate.
Slowly return to the starting position and rotate in the opposite direction. Your feet and hips stay stationary during the exercise.
Tips:
Your legs and hips stay stationary during the entire exercise.
Rotate in your abdominal area and follow rotation with your entire upper body.
Exhale as you rotate to the side and inhale at the starting position.
Instead of an exercise ball, you can use dumbbells -- but make sure to start with low weights.
Beginners: 10 repetitions on each side
Intermediate level: 15 repetitions on each side
Advanced level: 20 repetitions on each side
