Get a Stronger Ab & Core by Using the Best Pilates Core Ball Exercises!This ball workout below targets the upper and lower rectus abdominus and is very effective to build your abdominal and core strength. If you’re a beginner and need to get your abs stronger before being able to properly perform this move. You can start with Tummy Flattener Pilates Ball Workout first, and work your way up to this crunch exercise using an exercise ball. Follow the instructions to do this workout:
Traditional Crunch Pilates Ball Workout: Difficulty, 1; lower back, 1. Sit on the ball with your knees bent. Walk your feet forward until your hips are past the ball, and your back presses into the ball. Clasp your hands lightly behind your head. Tuck in your tailbone, and lift your hips toward the ceiling. Feel how firm your lower abs and buttocks are? And you haven’t even performed the crunch yet! Exhale; lift your torso, contract your abs, and press your navel toward your spine. Imagine your ribs and hips are curling toward one another. Inhale and return to starting position. You can take this pilates ball workout move to the next level by holding a dumbbell or weight plates across your upper chest to turn up the resistance. If it’s uncomfortable on your skin, just wrap it in a towel. And if that makes people think you’re a weenie, don’t sweat it--they won’t be laughing once they see your ripped abs from doing this technique! ;-)
