Fitness Ball Reverse Plate Crunches - Abs Exercise for Building Muscle Mass - Six Pack Abs

Technique - Start by bending your knees keeping your back straight when picking up the plate weight. Grip the plate weight so that you can hold it flat and secure to your chest throughout the exercise. Sit down on the floor in front of the fitness ball and lay back. Place your the balls of your feet and calf's onto the fitness ball and position your legs in a L-shape position. Start the exercise once you are stable and have found your balance. Exhale as you crunch your upper body forwards raising your shoulders from the floor. Do not allow your lower back to raise from the floor. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion whilst maintaining the position of the fitness ball. Inhale as you lower your shoulders back to the floor in a slow, controlled manner again keeping the fitness ball stable. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise.
