Weights are great for working the arms and upper body, and the exercise
ball produces exceptional results in the core abs and lower body. With
exercises suited for all skill levels, Weights on the Ball Workbook
shows how to simultaneously use both pieces of equipment for the
ultimate total-body workout.
Just sitting on a bench while performing arm curls leaves abdominals
doing virtually nothing and leg muscles completely relaxed. Sit balanced
on the ball while doing those same curls and a simple arm movement
explodes into a total-body exercise as the mid- and lower-body
stabilizer muscles are forced to work equally hard. Weights on the Ball
Workbook teaches combination exercises like seated curls as well as
dozens of specially designed movements that fully utilize the potential
of this unique equipment tandem.
In addition to programs that are easily tailored to individual fitness
levels, Weights on the Ball Workbook describes proper training methods
and explains how to achieve specific goals by varying the workout and
carefully monitoring the number of repetitions. Last but not least, the
author shows how to have fun and enjoy a workout that produces results
in half the time of a traditional workout.
