Benefits:
To perform the first exercise, Yasmin balanced the ball against the wall with her back. Then, she started moving up and down to come into a squat position. This exercise helps burn calories and increase the heart rate, thus improving your cardiorespiratory fitness.
To do the Wall Ball Bridge, she rested her body on the floor with bent knees and raised legs to balance the ball against the wall and raise her torso in the air. This exercise will help strengthen your core, stability, and glutes.
Yasmin also did Wall Ball Push-Ups that force our shoulders, chest, and core to stabilise the body. As for the Wall Ball Scissors routine, it strengthens the core muscles and hamstrings. Lastly, the Wall Ball Throw and Roll is a balance improvement and core-stability exercise.
