Overview
The weighted side bend on an exercise ball is an exercise targeting the abdominal muscles, particularly the obliques. The exercise is performed by lying on an exercise ball with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Hold a weight in your hands and extend your arms straight out in front of you. Keeping your back flat, slowly bend to one side, then return to the center. Repeat on the other side. This exercise is a great way to strengthen your abdominal muscles and improve your core stability.
