Video: Quickie Leg and Ab Sculpt with the Stability Ball
In this video workout sequence of a Stability Ball Combo, you hit legs and abs quickly and effectively!
This is one of my favorite leg shaping sequences from the DVD workout Ball Sculpt 1: Nothing But the Ball
(available at Amazon.com).
This 5 minute workout hits your hamstrings and abs using the stability ball. Leg curl works the hamstrings, and most people are weak in the hamstrings, which causes lower back and posture problems. If you workout at home, (and some gyms), you may not have access to a leg curl machine, making it all the more important to use this video!
When doing the leg curl, you may have to do one rep, then stop and slowly build your strength to get consecutive reps. Done properly, it is a very challenging exercise! The plank position targets the core, ie the abdominals and lower back muscles. You pretty much work everything form the neck down! The leg curl is supersetted with abdominal exercises. You get more done in less time! Efficient, effective workouts get you in shape faster than ever! Add this sequence to your routine 2-3 times a week for tighter legs and abs before summer!
Additional info: This DVD workout Ball Sculpt 1: Nothing But the Ball (available at Amazon.com) is loaded with workout options! It includes "pre-mix" routines that combine the exercises in various combinations for unique workouts. Plus, you get a "Fit in 40" full body workout. For more preview clips visit the All In One Workout DVD site and click on Stability Ball Exercise.

Glute Stretch with Stability Ball: Increase Low Back Flexibility, Relieve Sciatica.
Training: This is also featured on podcast "Fit Girl: Your Guide to Getting in Shape, episode Fit 183: Glutes, Guts, and Quick Weight Loss.
Check out the video below (and on Youtube.com/GetFitTV) for a great Glute Stretch with Stability Ball to increase Low Back Flexibility and Relieve Sciatica.
A form of this stretch is also used in my DVD workouts, Ball Sculpt 1: Nothing But the Ball and Ab Sculpt & Yoga Stretch
This stretch is much like the pigeon stretch in yoga. Using the ball enables a great lower back stretch at the same time. Plus, it's fun to do!
Stretching your glutes is important to the overall health of your back, especially the lower back.
If the glutes are over tight, they can affect the lower back, spine and even your upper back. Releasing the glutes with a solid, focused stretch like this one aids in proper alignment of the legs and hips, as well a release on the low back. It's all tied together! Sometimes we forget that each muscle does have a specific stretch! Be sure to include this one before and/or after your next weight training or cardio session!

Ball Sculpt 1: Legs, Hamstrings, Glutes
Hamstrings can be difficult to target without machines, but the ball does the trick!
Leg curls using the Fitness Stability Ball activate even more core and glutes. When working out at home, leg curls can be intense on the Fitness Stability Ball.
In this exercise sequence, you'll do leg curls with the butt lift and single leg curls. Regular leg curls are just as good too! You don't always have to do all of them! A few (2-3) sets of one exercise (10-12 reps) can be done per workout. Some crunches are thrown in the mix to give the legs a little recovery time between exercises. Give it a try! You'll love the feeling!

Additional core and ab exercises can be found on Kira's other ball workout: Ab Sculpt & Yoga Stretch for Stability Fitness Ball
