3 Stability Ball Exercises For Your Glutes and Core




Stability balls are one of the best ways to get in a great bout of exercise at home. They have been a S.I.P. staple since we all "joined" our home gyms a few months back.


These things can still pack a whallop. Especially for the glutes and core.


It is a staple for my post ride recovery because it allows me to reactivate my hip extension pattern and spare myself from more flexing of my hips and knees. I can also do a number on the glutes with isometric exercises to reset them and get them back online.


Here are a couple of my favorite moves:


Stability Ball Bridge "Plank"

If you want to torch the glutes in an incredibly effective way, this will do it. In addition, you'll get the following benefits:

  • Core activation

  • Hip stability

  • Undo the sitting position




Stability Ball Y-Hold Plank

If you want to torch the glutes in an incredibly effective way, this will do it. In addition, you'll get the following benefits:

  • Activates posture muscles

  • Glute activation

  • Core activation

  • Opens up the shoulders

  • Great pre-activation exercise for suspension trainer and band rows variations.
