Physioball Training for All Levels

Check out my demo video below!

Here are my top reasons for loving physioball exercises:

  • They are cheap
  • They are accessible. You can buy one online or at Target or Walmart
  • You can do hundreds of exercises that range in difficulty
  • You can use it to sit on, when you’re not using it to exercise
  • Most exercises with the ball, force you to engage your core and other smaller muscles more than without the ball. It forces your body to stabilize on an unstable surface
  • You can do the exercises with minimal space

SO, check out my video below for some beginner, intermediate and advanced exercises that you can start incorporating into your exercise plans! Work on these each week and watch your improvement. If you’re a beginner, shoot to get to the intermediate level within a few weeks.

Here is a list of the exercises that are in the video:

  1. Front squat- beginner
  2. Overhead squat- intermediate
  3. Crunches- beginner
  4. Crunches slowly with a pause at the top- intermediate
  5. Plank with ball against wall- beginner
  6. Plank- intermediate
  7. Plank with knee in’s- advanced
  8. Reverse bridge- beginner
  9. Reverse bridge with taps- beginner/ intermediate
  10. Hamstring curl- intermediate
  11. Front stationary lunge- beginner
  12. Front stationary lunge with a torso twist- intermediate
  13. Reverse lunge with twist and balance at the top- advanced

Some ideas for how you can put together a routine include:

  • Time each exercise for 30-60 seconds (I recommend the free Gym Boss app for timing)
  • Pick one exercise above, and follow it up with a cardio movement for 1 min
  • Do each exercise for 10-20 reps and repeat for 2-5 sets
  • Short on time? Pick 3 exercises and do as many reps and sets as you can fit in!

Have Fun!
