Medicine Ball Exercises

What’s the deal with those big bouncy balls taking up space around the gym?
Stability balls (also called exercise balls, balance balls, Swiss balls, or fitness balls)
This is a great app for those who have recently purchased a Swiss ball for exercise outside of the guidance of a personal trainer.
Stability balls (also called exercise balls, balance balls, Swiss balls, or fitness balls) are more than just fun to sit and bounce on—they’re a great way to improve strength, cardio endurance, and balance.
It’s pretty common for men to pack some extra poundage around their midsection. In fact, the average man is about 24 pounds heavier today than men in 1960, according to stats from The State of Obesity—and the figures are rising. We’ve seen slimmer days, but don’t think this is a grim sentence, dooming you to eternal chubbiness. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of ways for you to shed fat.
How to do the countdown workout:
Do 8 reps of the kettlebell swing, followed immediately by 8 reps of the squat thrust. Without resting, do 7 reps of the kettlebell swing, and then 7 reps of the squat thrust, and so on, until you work your way down to 1.
A reminder: Don’t overdo it. If your form breaks down during the routine, just stop there. Then next time, adjust your starting point so that you can work all the way down to one without having to stop. As you become better conditioned, start with a higher number.
Another important note: This isn’t a complete workout program, but it is a great routine that you can do almost anywhere, anytime. And it’s a fantastic substitute for 15 minutes on the treadmill.
Squat Thrust
Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Bending at your hips and knees, squat down and lower your body until you can place your hands on the floor. Kick your legs backward—into a pushup position—and then immediately reverse the move and quickly stand up from the squat. That’s 1 rep.
All the exercises are illustrated with clear photographs, easy-to-read instructions , giving you a clear understanding of what you are doing on the swiss ball , each exercise target specific muscle groups. This means that the app will be useful as you can work through each exercise
Benefits
Workout Area and Clothing:
Another thing to consider when using ball exercises is the clothing you wear and the workout area that is available to you. Although an exercise ball itself will take less room than a bench press you'll still need roughly the same floor real estate once you being using it.
Furthermore, because you won't be held securely in place (you'll need to work to keep your balance) you'll want to make sure to have proper grip on the floor. For that reason, workout mats should be avoided since they can shift around beneath you. Finally, because sweat may cause you to slip it is recommended that you use good training shoes as well as a shirt in order to cover your upper body.
The Stability Ball is likely one of the most versatile pieces of equipment. It’s fun, it’s easy to use and everybody from pediatrics to geriatrics literally finds the stability ball to be something unique, effective, inexpensive and productive. Another unique feature about the stability ball is that it employs the neuromuscular system in a way that no other piece of exercise equipment can. They incorporate the use of:
Multiple muscle systems
Neurologically induced muscular responses

Establishing, restoring and maintaining balance
