Abdominal Exercise:
Stability Ball Crunch
Prepare for the crunch
Sit on the ball with your feet flat on the floor. Let the ball roll back slowly.
Now lie back on the ball until your thighs and torso are parallel with the floor. Place hands behind your head (or cross your arms over your chest) and slightly tuck your chin in toward your chest.
The Crunch End Position
Contract your abdominals raising your body no more than 45 degrees. For better balance, spread your feet wider apart. To challenge the obliques, make the exercise less stable by moving your feet closer together. Exhale as you contract; inhale as you return to the starting position.
For beginners, place the ball under the upper part of the back. For advanced exercisers, the ball should be under lower-mid back.
