Man Does Swiss Ball Plank Circle Exercise

While this workout is guaranteed to pound your core (and any extra stubborn belly fat) into submission, it’ll also work to strengthen your legs and shoulders, as well.

Crush between five and 10 rounds of Swiss ball wipers, clean and presses, and Swiss ball circles in just 30 minutes to exhaust and sharpen the muscles in your entire upper body.

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for five to 10 rounds.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest periods between circuits. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
