1 soccer ball, 3 exercices

28 Dec

Why not take advantage of the World Cup effect to get moving? Today, with a soccer ball, we are #InTheMove.
Here are 3 exercises to try at home, in the gym or on vacation to stay in shape ☺

To strengthen the back muscles:

Lie on your back and place the ball under your feet. Leaning on the ball, raise the pelvis, with arms perpendicular to the ground. The goal is to hold the position as long as possible. Repeat the exercise 3 times with at least 2 minutes between each set. This exercise is ideal for those who spend a lot of time sitting as it strengthens the back.

For mobility and tone

Stand with your legs apart. Hold the ball in your hands and stretch your arms over your head. Bend your knees as much as possible, keeping your back straight and your heels on the ground, then straighten your knees. Repeat the movement twice. Then step back with the right leg into a lunge, back to the center, and do the same with the left leg. Repeat this set of 8 moves 4 times.

For Cardio and Coordination

Hold the ball in your hands. While jumping, move your right leg back into a lunge and at the same time, place the ball near your left hip. Then reverse while jumping. Perform 1 set of 14 jumps. Catch your breath and do one more set. To make the exercise more intense, try bouncing the ball and moving your foot backwards at the same time.
