Stretching Obliques Exercises with Stability Ball

Many people put a lot of focus on working their abs but forget their surrounding neighbors; the oblique muscles. Obliques serve as stabilizers, and are used in almost every physical activity. Exercising your obliques should be a very important part of your workout program. The exercises below will help you work your oblique muscles.

A stability or exercise ball is a ball constructed of soft elastic and filled with air until firm.Most stability balls range from a diameter of approximately 35 to 85 centimeters (14 to 34 inches). A primary benefit of exercising with an exercise ball as opposed to exercising directly on a hard flat surface is that the body has to respond to the instability of the ball in order to remain balanced. This in turn forces the body to engage far more stabilizing muscles (i.e. core muscles) and those muscles become stronger over time. The stability ball is most often used during core (abdominal, lower back) strength exercises.
