How Do You Do A One Leg Abdominal Crunch With The Balance Ball?
The balance ball is an excellent tool to train intrinsic muscles, develop balance and lose some inches at home. The one-leg abdominal crunch is an intermediate exercise that demands balance and concentration to perform. Wear tennis shoes for traction when doing this exercise. Sit on the ball, placing your feet on the floor. Lean backward as you walk your feet forward, moving the ball to your middle back. Place your hands across your chest as if you were about to do a normal sit-up. Lift one leg off the floor. For beginners, bring it just off the floor, keeping the knee bent. For intermediate level, extend the leg straight about three inches off the floor. Advanced exercisers should bring the leg out straight and parallel to the hip. Crunch upward, leaving an apple sized space between your chin and chest. Crunch only slightly, focusing on the abdominal muscles to pull you up and keeping them contracted on the descent as well. A 30-degree angle is optimal. Do 10 to 15 repetitions on each
