Pilates Workout with a Stability Ball // Senior & Beginner Exercises with Fit Ball

30 minute workout using a stability ball is a full body workout good for all ages including beginners and seniors.
This workout video using a large exercise ball is pilates inspired and will focus on long lean muscle strength. You will really feel your thighs, core and butt with these exercises.
The fit ball will really challenge your balance which activates your core as a result. Sometimes, these new moves can feel awkward at first. Go slow, keep at it, and you will improve. No big deal if you drop your ball, just grab it and try again. You will get stronger!
Make sure your exercise ball is the correct size for you and that it is not blown up too firmly. You need it to be a little soft so you can grab it with your legs.
I hope you love this workout as much as I do! Enjoy!

Nice Ms. Lauren ! HA I was surprised you didn't have us balancing a glass of water on top of the ball when we were holding it between our legs. I think I was able to work every square inch of my body with this ball.

I did this yesterday...still recovering! 😅! I LOVED it and all of the large stability ball workouts. I only fell off the ball twice! They were gentle falls though. Thank you Lauren for an awesome channel. I try and do a video daily. I don't consider myself a senior quite yet, but will always be a beginner.

Great workout, really good for my 70 year old hips! What size of ball do you use? Mine is smaller than yours , should I get a bigger one to get the most out of the session? Really love the variety of your videos, excellent!

@SeniorShapeFitness 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks so much Jane! My ball is a 65cm. The appropriate size ball depends on how tall you are. If you are shorter then 5'5 then a smaller ball is probably fine. You can also try adding more air to make it bigger. When you sit on it, you want the top of your legs to be parallel to the ground. If your knees are much higher, then you may benefit from a larger ball. Hope that helps!
