These Stability Ball Exercises Give Your Abs the Ultimate Workout

Stability ball crunch

1. Lie with your lower back on top of a stability ball and your feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head, your fingertips behind your ears, and your elbows out to the side.
2. Lean back over the ball until you feel a stretch in your abdominals.
3. Lift your chest, head, and back until you feel a strong contraction in your abdominals. Repeat for the suggested number of reps.

What it does: Strengthens the front and lower abdominals.

Form tip: Don’t extend so far that you fall off the back of the ball. If the exercise is too difficult, place your hands across your chest instead.
