    Workout with stability ball

    Busy day? We all know how hard it can be to fit a workout into our schedule, but why not get started with a 15-minute home workout? Working with a stability ball allows you to fully engage your core, which can help prevent back pain.

    MUSCLES WORKED

    These exercises are meant to engage and work your core, which consists of your abdominal and back muscles.

    GET STARTED

    You’ll need to grab a stability ball and, if you prefer, a yoga mat, for exercises requiring you to lay on the floor. You can find these at your local drugstore or online. If you’re completing this workout at a gym, most gyms have all of this equipment for you to use. Give yourself enough space to perform these exercises.

    Follow these instructions for a quick, 15-minute core workout.
