Fitness Ball Plate Crunches - Abs ( Abdominals ) 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. Sit down on the fitness ball and position your legs shoulder width apart. Position the fitness ball so that it is around the lower portion of your back and start the exercise once you have found your balance. Inhale as you lower your upper body down back wards over the fitness ball in a slow, controlled manner until you feel your abs muscles stretch. Exhale as you raise your upper body back to the starting position again allowing your body to move smoothly with the fitness ball. Lean forwards and squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion. 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.
