Exercise Ball Routines

Exercise ball routines involving ab crunches that combine tightening, twisting, bending and compressing can give your abs a good workout.

Even better stability ball exercise routines are less likely to strain your back. Since the ball gives it support.

So let's target your core muscles with these three exercises.

Exercise Ball Crunches
Sit on the ball and "walk" your feet forward until the small of your back rests against the ball. With your fingertips behind your head, slowly lift your ribs toward hips. Hold the contraction. Lower slowly. Repeat.

Exercise Ball Bicycling
Same starting position as before with exercise ball crunches, only this time bring one knee towards your chest while raising opposite shoulder. Don't use your arms in any way to pull forward. Alternate, right then left.

Super charge these stability ball routines by keeping your feet closer together. The closer you keep your feet the harder your obliques have to work to help keep you balanced on the ball.

Midsection Lift
With your calves resting on the ball and your back on the floor, arms at your side lift your mid section until you body is in a straight line from your shoulder to your toes. Tighten your abs. Hold it. Then relax.

The midsection lift fits in the category of exercises for tummy AND hips.

With all these you want to inhale when beginning to tighten and then exhale as you relax.

Just keep in mind exercise alone won't flatten your tummy. You also need to eat low-fat and lose those extra pounds that are hanging on.
