Are you ready to step up your workout? A core balance disc, like this one from my partners at ProsourceFit is a great (and inexpensive!) way to add intensity to your routine because it incorporates a balance challenge, working multiple muscles simultaneously. The inflation amount can be adjusted for less or greater sturdiness, depending on your workout need, and the non-slip grip surface prevents slipping. It also comes with a pump, making it easy to inflate and deflate.
Here are a few moves you can try:
Single leg side raises:
- Stand on the disc with both feet, body straight, core tight.
- Lift one leg up to the side 45 degrees, with your hands on your hips.
- Pause for 2 seconds, lower and repeat 12 times on each side.
Single leg rear raises:
- Stand on the disc with both feet, body straight, core tight.
- Lift one leg to the rear 45 degrees, keeping our hands on your hips.
- Pause for 2 seconds, lower and repeat 12 times each side.
Squats:
- Stand on the disc with both feet, body straight, core tight.
- Stretch your hands out in front and slowly bend your knees and waist to perform a squat, until your knees bend 90 degrees.
- Hold for 2 seconds and come back up.
- Repeat 12 times.
Bicep curl to shoulder press:
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand and step onto balance disc keeping your core tight, back straight and chest lifted.
- Perform a bicep curl by flexing and bending at the elbows bringing the weights to your shoulders.
- Rotate your arms outward until your palms are facing forward.
- Press the weights overhead.
- Lower and repeat 12 times.
- For a greater challenge perform the move sending on one leg.
Tricep pushup:
- Place both hands on the disc and extend your legs straight behind.
- Keeping your core tight and body in a straight line, bend your elbows keeping your arms against your side as you lower your body until your chest touches the disc.
- Hold that position for 2 seconds, then push up to starting position.
- Repeat 10 times.
- To modify, perform the move on your knees.
