Crunch, Stability Ball, Reach and Pass |
Type: Abs |
|
|
|
A big variation on the standard crunch. The crunch with stability ball reach and pass really targets the core abdominal muscles and is great for improving balance and coordination. It involves passing a stability ball from your hands to your feet and back again. You start from a flat position on your back and the pass takes place as your hands and feet meet, at the mid point of a crunch and leg raise.

Crunch, Stability Ball, Reach and Pass Steps:
Lie flat on your back on a gym mat with a stability ball directly behind your head.
|
Reach your arms up behind your head and take hold of the stability ball with both hands.
|
Open your legs wide so they form a 'V' shape. Raise your arms and your legs up at the same time so they meet above your torso.
|
Pass the stability ball from your hands to your feet, and clamp the ball between your feet.
|
Now lower your arms and legs back down to the starting position.
|
Repeat the same movement again, but this time passing the ball from your feet back to your hands.
|
Continue for the required number of repetitions.
