2. Easily Advance Your Exercises - It's simple to increase the difficulty of your exercises ** and ** you get the most benefit from each abs exercise you do.
3. Convenience - Exercise from home where you have privacy, you can exercise anytime day or night ** and ** you save time driving to and from the gym to use their special abs equipment.

TRADITIONAL ABS CRUNCH ON THE BALL
1. Your Position On The Ball
Sit in upright position on the ball with your feet flat on floor.

Walk feet forward allowing the ball to roll under your body until it is positioned on your lower to mid-back region.

Raise your hips slightly to create a “table top” position parallel to floor.

Place your hands across your chest. *Note* Your head should be in a neutral position with a space between your chin and chest.

2. Target Muscles
Rectus Abdominal Muscles - known to many as your "six pack"

3. Step By Step Instructions
Sit in upright position on the ball with your feet flat on floor.

Leading with the chin and chest towards the ceiling, contract the abdominal muslces.

Raise shoulders up concentrating on using your abdominal muscles and *not* your neck or hip muscles.

Return to start position.

4. Beware of Cheating!
Remember to keep your head and back in a neutral position. Too much motion forward or backward of your head and back can cause injury.
