Shilpa Shetty Uses Just A Ball To Sculpt Her Abs: Here's How You Can Too (VIDEO)

Shilpa Shetty is undoubtedly one of the fittest celebrities in Bollywood, and even at 50, she continues to inspire millions with her dedication to health and wellness. From yoga flows to strength training, her Instagram is a goldmine of fitness motivation. And in her latest post, the diva proves you don't need fancy equipment to work your core; just a tennis ball will do!

Shilpa's simple yet effective tennis ball workout

On August 4, Shilpa shared a video of herself performing a core-burning exercise using only a tennis ball. Lying flat on her back, she began by lifting her upper back slightly off the ground and raising both legs to a 90-degree angle. As she alternated her legs in flutter kicks, she passed a tennis ball between them, transferring it from one hand to the other.

She captioned the video: "Ball's in your court, serve up that core strength. Challenge thrown to you! How many can you do with perfect form?"

Check out the video below:

How to do it right?

If you're planning to take up Shilpa's challenge, here’s her expert advice to do it right:

Do 3 sets of 15–20 reps per side

Aim for at least twice a week

Focus on slow, controlled movement, because quality matters more than quantity

What are the benefits?

This seemingly simple move is deceptively tough and super effective. By combining flutter kicks with ball passes, the exercise targets the entire abdominal region while challenging coordination and control.

According to Shilpa, here's what this move helps with:

Tones & defines abdominal muscles

Strengthens deep core stabilizers

Boosts control, coordination & core endurance

So, the next time you're thinking of skipping abs day, grab a tennis ball and channel your inner Shilpa; your core will thank you.
