Starling Fitness: Daily writings on Fitness, Diet, and Health

I have free weights and a stability ball in my house, but I rarely use them. When I do Yourself! Fitness, Maya will tell me when to use these things, but most of the time, they sit by the television unused. I just don’t really know how to use them like I can with the machines at the gym.

GetFitSource.com has an animated example of one exercise you can use with the ball and weights. It’s a simple press, but because it’s on the stability ball, it strengthens your ab muscles also.

This is a great way to demonstrate exercises. Still pictures are helpful, but a simple animation like this makes all the difference in the world.
