3 Exercise Ball Ab Workouts

November 3, 2010

For those of you looking to strengthen your abs using “unconventional” style workouts, then exercise ball ab workouts are the way to go. The reason exercise ball workouts are so good is because by their very nature, all exercises done with the ball require core strength, including your abs. The second reason that the ball is so good is because it puts less strain on your back, allowing you to push your body harder and to avoid injury.

It’s also a nice change of pace from typical workouts and can be a lot of fun. I remember when I personally started doing push ups on the exercise ball. There wasn’t any real reason I added it to my exercise routine other than it was an enjoyable change of pace and I liked watching the core “balance” of my body improve (i.e. not falling off the ball!).

Warrior Fit Testimonials

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
