Weighted Side Bend (On Stability Ball)
The weighted side bend on a stability ball targets the abdominal muscles, particularly the obliques, and also engages the lower back. The use of a stability ball increases the balance and core activation required, while the added weight increases resistance for strength gains.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Sit on a stability ball with your feet shoulder-width apart and flat on the ground.
- 2.Hold a weight in one hand and place your other hand on your hip.
- 3.Engage your core and slowly bend sideways towards the weighted side, keeping your back straight.
- 4.Pause for a moment at the bottom, then slowly return to the starting position.
- 5.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
