Aquaball Horizontal Shake Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the aquaball in both hands in front of your chest.
  2. Engage your core and keep your back straight as you bend your knees and lower your body into a squat position.
  3. While maintaining the squat position, shake the aquaball horizontally from side to side, using your arms and shoulders.
  4. Continue shaking the aquaball for the desired number of repetitions or as instructed by your fitness program.
  5. Return to the starting position by standing up and lowering the aquaball back to your chest.

Aquaball Horizontal Shake Tips

  1. Start by standing with your feet hip-width apart, holding the aquaball with both hands in front of your chest.
  2. Engage your core muscles and slowly rotate your upper body to the right, allowing the aquaball to swing to the side.
  3. Focus on squeezing your obliques as you twist, feeling the muscles on the sides of your torso working.
  4. Keep your movements controlled and avoid using momentum to swing the aquaball. This will ensure maximum engagement of your obliques.
  5. Exhale as you twist to the side, and inhale as you return to the starting position. This will help you maintain proper breathing throughout the exercise.
  6. As a beginner, start with a lighter aquaball to get comfortable with the movement and gradually increase the weight as you progress.
  7. Perform 2-3 sets of 10-12 reps on each side, with a short rest in between sets. Remember, quality over quantity is key, so focus on maintaining proper form throughout.
