Weighted Ball Side Bend

Exercise ball Abdominals

The Weighted Ball Side Bend is a strength movement that targets your abdominals. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Weighted Ball Side Bend

  1. Sit on an exercise ball with feet flat on the floor and hold a dumbbell in one hand.
  2. Let the dumbbell pull you into a lateral bend to that side, feeling a stretch through the opposite oblique.
  3. Contract your obliques to return to upright, then repeat for reps before switching sides.
  4. Keep your hips square and avoid rotating — the movement is purely lateral.
