Fitness Ball Hands High Abs Crunches Technique Instructions

Fitness Ball Hands High Abs Crunches
Technique - Start by sitting down on the fitness ball with your feet shoulder width apart with your legs in a L-shape position. Position the fitness ball so that your lower back is well supported. Extend your arms straight up placing one hand flat on top of the other. Inhale as you lower your upper body down backwards in a slow, controlled manner keeping your arms straight allowing the fitness ball to move smoothly with this motion. Stop when you feel your abs muscles stretch. Exhale as you raise yourself forwards again keeping your arms straight and solid. Lean forwards at the top of the motion and squeeze your abs muscles inwards. Hold this position for a count of 1 before starting the next rep. Maintain your balance and stability throughout the exercise.
