20 effective exercise ball exercises

Exercise balls are often an overlooked piece of equipment at the gym. Who has time for the brightly-colored bouncy balls when there is a full weight rack available to help you develop those muscles, right?

Wrong.

Exercise balls are a great way to improve strength, cardio endurance, and balance. Basic moves like push-ups, squats, and planks can be enhanced when you perform them on an unstable surface. Exercise balls are great for getting back in shape after sustaining an injury because they reduce muscle and spinal strain while performing certain moves.

These 20 exercises to perform with an exercise ball were developed by Greatist and will work your whole body. Before you begin trying these you’re going to want to make sure you have the right size exercise ball. Our CanDo® exercise balls come in a variety of sizes starting at 30cm and up to 150cm. You’ll know you have the right size if you sit on it and your hips and knees are at right angles with the floor. If you want to buy a CanDo® exercise ball you can purchase one from one of our dealers or directly from us.
