Preparation

Ball Crunches primarily work the rectus abdominis, or six-pack muscles, and the transverse abdominis. Lie down on your back on the floor. Bend your legs and place your feet flat on the floor. Hold an exercise ball with your hands in front of the chest.

Method

Step 1

Exhale and slowly lift your head, shoulders, and upper body off the ground

Step 2

Your shoulders should come up off the floor only about four inches

Step 3

The lower back should remain on the floor

Step 4

Once you go up, contract your abdominals hard

Step 5

Keep the contraction for a second

Step 6

Inhale and come down slowly again to the starting position

Step 7

Repeat for the desired number of reps.
