Ball Crunch Overview
The balance ball eliminates the impact of the hard surface and allows you to perform your movements way much more efficiently. The exercise is fantastic in enhancing lower body strength, promoting better posture, and minimizing lower back injury risk.
Whether you perform core exercises or full-body workouts, this would be an excellent addition to your routine.
How to Do It
- Sit on the ball and place your feet on the floor.
- Step forward to let your lower back roll on the ball.
- Keep the tips of your fingers on the sides of your head. This is the starting position.
- Pull the torso up to aim your elbows towards your knees to perform a crunch.
- Make sure to keep your abs braced.
- Lower your upper body back to the initial position.
- Repeat for the desired number of reps.
Ball Crunch Tips
- Hold the crunch to the count of 2 at least to work harder on the abs.
