Stability Ball Exercises: A Beginner’s Guide to Losing Belly Fat
Looking to shed belly fat? Incorporate a stability ball into your exercise routine. This affordable fitness tool, available at most sporting goods stores for around $30, could be your key to achieving a flatter stomach or washboard abs. According to research from Sacramento State University in California, individuals who use stability balls engage twice as many muscle fibers in their abdominal area compared to those who only do traditional crunches. Here, we outline an effective routine using the stability ball for beginners.
Beginner-Friendly Exercises to Lose Belly Fat
1. Hip Circles
- Instructions: Sit on the stability ball, placing your hands on it for support. For a challenge, position your hands behind your head.- Movement: Slowly rotate your hips in small circles to the right, gradually increasing the size as you become more comfortable. Perform 10 to 20 circles, then switch to the left side.
- Benefits: This exercise engages all the stomach muscles, making it ideal for targeting belly fat.
2. Seated March
- Instructions: Sit with your spine straight and your core engaged.- Movement: Begin a slow march by lifting your right foot, then your left. As your confidence builds, raise your knees higher and increase your speed. Add a gentle bounce if you’re comfortable.

3. Seated Balance
