iPod Video
Half Curl on Stability Ball is a variation of any original Pilates exercise that flexes the body up from supine. The stability ball adds the instability necessary to target the core musculature even more than performing the same exercise on the floor. Also, performing the exercise on the ball requires the hip extensors to work intensely to maintain the body in one long line from head to knee – and then ribcage to knee – as thoracic flexion is performed. You’ll tone the abdominal muscles, strengthen the core and target the muscles of the backs of the legs and buttocks.
