This exercise ball has the ability, among other things, to boost your&nbsp;<strong>balance, strengthen your core,<\/strong> and increase flexibility.&nbsp;We&#8217;ve also introduced you to LIIT \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/evofitness.at\/en\/liit-workout\/\"><strong>Low-Intensity Interval Training<\/strong><\/a>. It is a new fitness craze similar to HIIT training, but unlike the most famous acronym, it is less intense. Today, with the help of <strong>our personal trainer Klodya Garros<\/strong> (from EVO Geneva Rue de Lausanne) we combine these two to bring you a <strong>short and sweet 10-minute core and stability workout.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>This training session will take around 10 minutes to perform<\/strong>, making it a perfect finisher after an intense workout. It can also be used as a warm-up drill. It consists of <strong>4 exercises <\/strong>to be performed for <strong>3 rounds<\/strong>. At the end of each set, you&#8217;ll relax with <strong>a gentle spine massage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Seated calf raise <\/li><li>Swiss ball crunch <\/li><li>Swiss ball chest press<\/li><li>Swiss ball Russian twist <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ready?
