stability ball workouts

Not sure if anyone likes stability ball workouts anymore but Linda has a new youtube barlattes workout using one. I had such fun bouncing up and down and still getting a great workout. Let me know your favorite stability ball workouts if you would.

Link to Linda's workout. (Loved it as it is part of her Quiet Quarantine series so not a lot of impact or noise

)

Thank you for posting this! I haven't done a Barlates workout in a while and I love stability ball workouts!

For my stability ball fave workouts- The Firm has a decent one that is only 30 minutes. https://www.amazon.com/Firm-Slim-Scu.../dp/B000PA03DY

TLT has a stability ball workout let by Susan Harris- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdvnLWH89nI&t=164s

Turbo Jam Total Body Blast is fun- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wul9...dex=21&t=2344s

That's all that is coming to mind right now. I'm curious to see others recommendations for stability ball workouts, too!

Thanks Wendy. I had forgotten all about the Susan Harris TLT workout. That was a really great one. I will pull it out. Now that you mention that one it seems that there is one more that Tracie put out early on. Now I will need to go and look for that one as well. The lead on that one was in some of the Firm videos.
I was wondering about the firm workout. I think I will have to try it out as well as the Charlene workout. Chalene usually has really good energy.

i'm old school - i like Gunnar Peterson's stability ball workouts. i have all of them. he's very low key and some find him boring, but it's the moderate speed and tenor of Gunnar that i like, and you will feel worked.

kathy smith also. her original "shaper ball" workout is good, and she also uses it in her toning workouts for Project You. she has a killer bonus workout on LWTLW2 - she does pikes in this one!

Kim Spreen's 10MS stability ball workout is also good.

Bzar/jeannine I will need to look at Gunner's workouts. Too funny though.... I have been looking for that particular Kathy Smith balance ball workout for a long time. I did not realize that it was on Lift Weights to Lose Weight 2. I purchased the Shaper Ball workout thinking it was on there. Thanks so much!!!!. I also like Kimberly Spreen.

Wendy: I pulled out the TLT workout with Susan Harris and have it ready to go. I also pulled out one with Jeanne Anne Copleston that I think may have had the stability ball as well. Hopefully it will still play.

you're welcome!

Gunnar's workouts average around 30 min, but i find that the slightly longer ones are good:

Full Body Challenge (43 min)
Accelerated Core Training (45 min)*

*comes with his "25 Minute Full Body Workout" and this is also a good comprehensive workout.

all of the above use dumbbells with the ball. i acquired all of his workouts from trades, eBay, Amazon and at thrift stores. at one time, you could only buy them via subscription, and they were very expensive.

I always liked the TLT workout with Susan Harris, I haven't done it forever.

All the TLT workouts are good. I should do them more often.

I discovered this past year that many of Gunnar's workouts are on YT. I've done all of them and I really like them, too. Yes, I do feel worked after I do these!

^2!!

slightly embarrassed to say that gosh, i have all of those, and agree that they are good. Suzanne Deason has good pilates stuff on the ball. i have also used Rodney Yee's Upper Body Yoga with a stability ball even though it doesn't require one. you can do camel really good with a stability ball.

i also want to mention Denise Austin. yes, i know people dislike her, but she has a couple of good stability ball workouts for pilates.
