Top #30 Greatest Ways 2 Lose Belly Fat ~ #20 "Stability Ball"

Top #30 Greatest Ways To Lose Belly Fat..

#20 Stability Ball
The stability ball also know as the Swiss ball and exercise ball is one of the best tools to build your ab muscles, and probably also one of the cheapest. Just by sitting on the ball engages the muscles of your core... abdominal, obliques, and back. Research in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning shows that doing crunches on the stability ball engages the abdominal muscles far more than then doing them traditional way on the floor or mat. The stability ball offer real fitness benefits without a complex new equipment learning curve. Stability balls increase the intensity of the abdominal workout, they make even the dreaded abs exercise seem manageable. Sit-ups are a whole new experience on a stability ball.

The abdominal contraction while executing a sit-up on a stability ball has been shown to be far more intense then when lying on the ground, proving conclusively that your abs get a far more intense workout with this method. The exercise ball has the added benefit of helping to work a selection of other muscles such as your legs and the stabilizing muscles of your core. These stabilizing muscles can be recruited as much or as little as you like by narrowing your foot stance. Ab exercises on the ball are fantastic and there are dozens of variations you can do to really blast those abs of yours, so get to working out your abs. This goes back to #19 about training your abs to keep them strong, toned so as you burn off your belly fat you will uncover your beautiful, fit stomach you've been working so hard on. #FitandBeautiuful
