Oblique Abdominals (sides), Rectus Abdominus (run down middle of stomach)
How To:
• Sit on ball, feet flat on ground about hip width apart
• Place hands across chest , lean back on ball so your tailbone to your shoulders are on the ball, eyes toward the ceiling, chin up
• Exhale and slowly curl up and to the left bring your right shoulder blade off the ball
• Keep your belly button pulled in rather than pushed out
• Hold and slowly lower back down on to the ball
• Repeat until reached desired reps
• Switch and perform with left side
Important: Don’t bounce on the ball…that’s cheating. Also, it is very important that you crunch up toward the ceiling and not toward your knees. Slow is the key…try lifting vertebrae by vertebrae
