Sports Ball Workout

Why buy gadgets when you already have everything in your house for a great workout? Grab a ball and get a full body workout.

DEFINE Body and Mind Owner Hank Richardson says you can get a full body workout using the balls you have sitting around your house -- footballs, soccer balls, basketballs and more!

TOUCHDOWN FOOTBALL ARM WORKOUT

  • In a push-up position, put the football under one hand and do ten push-ups. The football adds instability, creating more of a burn. Make sure to do both sides.
  • On the ground in a tricep dip position, put the football under your feet to challenge balance. Straighten legs completely for an extra burn. Try to do twenty to thirty
  • Have a catch to tone the biceps and shoulders!
WHAT A KICK! SOCCER BALL LEG WORKOUT
  • Get into a lunge position and hold soccer ball out in front of you to stabilize the core. Do twenty lunges. This works the quadriceps and hamstrings.
  • For more cardio, stay still in the lunge position with arms holding the soccer ball out in front, and bring the ball and knee to meet each other. Go in and back thirty times on each leg.
  • Standing on tippy-toes, put the soccer ball in-between thighs, and squat thirty times. Then, squat down, hold and squeeze ball thirty times. This tones the inner thighs.
CAN'T DODGE THE DODGE BALL GLUTE WORKOUT
  • On hands and knees, place the dodge ball behind your knee, flex the foot and start to lift. The lifting tones the glutes and holding onto the ball activates the hamstrings. Do forty on each side.
  • In the same position, hold the leg up and just squeeze the ball for a hamstring curl.
A SLAMDUNK BASKETBALL CORE WORKOUT
  • Sit down, hold the basketball out in front of you. Lean back to engage core, and swivel from right to left about forty times. This activates the obliques.
  • Hold at center, and crunch up and down for thirty reps.
