Mini Ball Workout For Thighs, Buns & Abs for Women Over 40

Grab your mini-ball, Pilates ball, for this 40-minute lower body and abs workout for women over 40.

⁣This is a great workout for all levels, and fantastic for anyone with sensitive knees.

I really target the glutes, side of the hip, and hamstrings with this workout, which will help you if you experience knee pain when you exercise.

We also burn the abs in a variety of core movements, with not a plank insight. So, if you have sensitive wrists and shoulders you’ll appreciate these ab drills.
