We’ve all seen people having some fun with that soft and bouncy ball in the gym. This ball is called a gym or a stability ball. Many people believe that sitting on a stability ball can help your backache and posture but this isn’t true. Avoid doing this if you’re trying to do anything other than burn off the extra fat. A stability ball does just what its name suggests. It requires you to learn how to remain stable while working out with the ball. This requires you to strain your core and helps you burn the belly fat. A stability ball helps your built stability and use your core to do it. It helps you tone your body using a fitness ball and it can be a fun workout session but ensure that you have a trainer or someone to be by your side while you build some basic stability because you may fall around a bit and in order to avoid any major injuries you should have someone to ensure your safety. Now here are some easy fitness ball exercises that you can do for burning the extra fat and flab.

Single-leg Bridge

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet on the top of the ball. Keep your arms on the sides with your palm facing the floor. Lift your hips and extend your right leg straight up with the toes pointing upwards. Repeat these 10 times with each leg.

Crunches

With your lower back against the ball and your face pointing upwards, do crunches. Work your core to maintain stability.

Push-up

Lie down on your stomach, now lift yourself up and let your thighs rest on the stability ball. Now work your core muscles and pull yourself down by bending your elbows like a push-up. Do this push up with the stability balls for up to 2 minutes. Do a minimum of 25 push-ups.

Roll outs

Sit with your feet facing downwards on your knees, hold the ball in front of you. Now slowly roll the ball away without moving your knees. Roll it out as far as you can and then roll it back in. Do this exercise 20 times.
