How Do You Perform Exercise Ball Abdominal Crunch?
• Get into your starting Position: • Lie with your upper back on an exercise ball and your feet flat on the ground in front of you. Support your head by placing your hands behind it, and keep your eyes turned up towards the ceiling throughout the entire movement. • Exhale as you raise your upper body up a few inches off of the ball by contracting your abdominal muscles. Pull your navel towards your spine and concentrate on contracting your abs as you lift your upper body. Be sure to keep your back straight and avoid pulling yourself up with your hands. Hold yourself in this contracted position for a moment before slowly lowering yourself back down to the starting position. Inhale when returning to your start point.
