Top 10 Stability Ball Exercises For A Strong & Stable Core

You can also follow me here:

These are my favorite stability ball exercises for building core strength and stability. The stability ball, also known as the "swiss ball" in the US, is such a common piece of exercise equipment that I think it often gets overlooked in terms of its effectiveness. The unstable nature of it makes it a great tool for fitness because it forces you to work on balance and coordination during every exercise, strengthening core muscles you didn't know you even had.

If you're looking to build core strength and stabilize your body, give these exercises a shot. I put them in order of my own Top 10, but you may like some more than others based on your preferences and the weak areas on your body.

Most importantly, make sure you train safely when you try these exercises. I recommend using the ball on carpeting at first, if possible. This way if you fall off you'll have a softer landing than if you were on concrete or hardwood floors.

As always, train hard and eat smart. I'll see you next time!

Thanks for these exercises, great for stability and mobility. And useful for people who are compelled to stay home!

I love doing the ball balance. And like you fell off a dozen times. But it won't stop the fun. Thanks again. Keep the repeat button on.

[SL-nvzv]

Wow....I'm not up to these yet, but something to work towards. Thanks!

[WildcraftBritain]

Awesome video 👍🏻 thanks for sharing 🙏 some great exorcises and well explained 😄

[jsmith]

Great video, you certainly have quite the balance. That is part of my goal when using the stability ball. How long does it take for you to be able to kneel on top of the stability ball?
Suggestion, perhaps do videos shirtless, to show us guys what we can look like when we take care of ourselves.

I have owned one of these for like 10 years now. I stopped using it for the most part because I got tired of falling. I still, ocassionally do crunches or jacknives - ocassional ab workout. I wonder what the risk/reward is for some of these exercises.

He makes them looks easy but I've done a few of them and they're murderous.
