Swiss Ball Crunch

Target Muscles

Rectus abdominis (mainly upper portion), transverse abdomins.

Starting Position

  • Lie across the ball, place your feet on the floor and keep your legs bent at the knees. Adjust your position so that the ball is com­fortably positioned in the small of your back.
  • Cross your arms over your chest, or, to make the exercise harder, place your hands by the sides of your head.

The Movement

  • Making sure that you move only your upper body and that your lower back remains in contact with the ball, slowly raise your torso.
  • Hold the position for a count of two; then lower yourself back to the starting position.

Tips

  • When you lower yourself back down, keep the movement controlled.
  • Do not let your upper body arch backwards or your head flop back over the ball.
  • To make the movement harder, bring your whole body higher up on to the top of the ball.
