    20-MIN STABILITY WORKOUT

    ALL LEVELS / stability workout / 20 minutes

    Equipment: Swiss ball & dumbbells

    Stability is a word that we can use to define our muscles’ work to keep our body equilibrated and steady while moving. Unfortunately, as we grow old, we tend to lose balance. That’s why working on your stability now is also projecting a healthier and safer tomorrow. Additionally, a stability workout is a super fun training session.

    Judit Stroj, a personal trainer from EVO Berggasse in Vienna, brings you a 20-minute stability workout to help you move more comfortably. Check out also some of her other workouts like this 45-min strength and endurance workout or this 16-min EMOM workout.

    1. Swiss ball hamstring curls 
    2. Dumbbell single-leg Romanian deadlift — right leg
    3. Plank hold on Swiss ball
    4. Dumbbell single-leg Romanian deadlift — left leg

    WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

    4 rounds

    1 – SWISS BALL HAMSTRING CURLS

    45 seconds on, 15 seconds off

    • Lay down on the floor with your back flat. Place your heels on the top of the Swiss ball. 
    • Keep your arms flat on the floor and aligned with your shoulders. 
    • Raise your hips so that they are aligned with your knees and shoulders. This is your starting position. 
    • The hamstring curl starts by rolling the ball towards your butt, feet flat on the ball and knees pointing to the ceiling. 
    • Reverse the movement back to get to the starting position. That’s one rep.

    2 – DUMBBELL SINGLE-LEG ROMANIAN DEADLIFT – RIGHT LEG

    45 seconds on, 15 seconds off

    • Stand balancing on your right leg, holding a pair of dumbbells.
    • Engage your hips and glutes and allow your right knee to bend slightly. Try to maintain your left leg straight and in line with your body throughout the rep. 
    • With your back flat, continue to bend until the dumbbell reaches the middle of your lower leg. 
    • Use your heel to push your hips forward and get back to the starting position. 

    3 – PLANK HOLD ON SWISS BALL

    45 seconds on, 15 seconds off

    • Grab a Swiss ball and place it in front of you. 
    • Kneel to it, using your forearms to balance yourself on the top of the ball. 
    • Engage your core, lift your knees until you reach the plank position, and don’t forget to set your shoulders. 
    • Hold it, squeezing your glutes and core, breathing throughout the entire duration. 

    4 – DUMBBELL SINGLE-LEG ROMANIAN DEADLIFT – LEFT LEG

    45 seconds on, 15 seconds off

    • Stand balancing on your left leg, holding a pair of dumbbells.
    • Engage your hips and glutes and allow your right knee to bend slightly. Try to maintain your right leg straight and in line with your body throughout the rep. 
    • With your back flat, continue to bend until the dumbbell reaches the middle of your lower leg. 
    • Use your heel to push your hips forward and get back to the starting position. 

    5 – SQUAT JACKS

    45 seconds on, 15 seconds off

    • Start in a squat position with your feet together, hands almost touching the ground and next to your ankles. 
    • Explosively jump into a wide squat, opening your arms above your head like in a jumping jack. 
    • Jump back into the squat part, with both legs together, knees bent, and arms on your sides. 
    • Don’t forget to try to keep your chest up and look ahead while performing the move.
