Fitness Ball Reverse Abs Crunch Technique Instructions

Fitness Ball Reverse Abs Crunches
Technique - Start by sitting down on the floor in front of the fitness ball in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Lay back and place the balls of your feet and calf muscles onto the fitness ball. Make sure that your feet are parallel to your shoulders with your legs in a L-shape position. Lay back onto the floor and place your hands behind your head interlacing your fingers together. Exhale as you crunch your upper body forwards in a controlled manner not allowing your lower back to raise from the floor. Squeeze your abs muscles inwards at the top of the motion and hold the position for a count of 1 whilst maintaining your balance. Inhale as you lower your upper body down again in a controlled manner back to the starting position. Do not allow any longer than a 1 count before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the abs muscles.
