​ Be the holiday ‘belle of the ball!’

​ Be the holiday ‘belle of the ball!’

07 Dec 2021 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

When it's too cold to be outside, get bouncy inside and strengthen your core musclesat the same time. Using exercise balls can be a great workout, according to Fabio Comana, an exercise physiologist with the American Council on Exercise in San Diego. Also known as fitness balls and balance balls, are large vinyl balls in various diameters ranging from 18 inches to 3 feet.

Your workout with an exercise ball can be as easy and fun as sitting on the ball and bouncing lightly to gently work your core muscles (the muscles surrounding your trunk and pelvis). A ball workout can also be pulse-pounding, if you use your ball as a prop for crunches, pushups, leg lifts, or squats.

You can even burn a few calories simply sitting on the ball and working to maintain your balance.
