Here are Your Three Gym Ball Back Exercises to Try Out:

Exercise #1: Extension over the Ball

Start sitting on the gym ball, walk your feet forward at the same time as lowering the upper body back onto the ball. Please make sure your head rests on the gym ball for support. Let the spine and back arch over the ball for a great stretch.

Hold that position and take 2-3 deep breaths, before returning to sitting upright.

Exercise #2: Bridge

Sit on the gym ball, walk your legs forward keeping your hips raised. You’re aiming for your head and upper back to be supported on the gym ball, and your legs and hips away from the ball. Focus on keeping the hips raised, as sometimes, there’s a tendency for the hips to sink down to the floor. Return to the upright position and repeat.

Aim: 10 repetitions.

Exercise #3: Bridge – Alternate Weight

This suggestion is a variation of the bridge, described above. Start by sitting on the gym ball, walk your feet forward into the bridge position. Focus on keeping your hips raised throughout, shift your weight to the right side, hold it before moving over to the left.

Aim: 30-second hold on each side.
