Fitness Ball Reverse Sit Ups Technique Instructions

Fitness Ball Reverse Sit Ups
Technique - Start by sitting down on the floor in an area that will provide enough room to perform the exercise. Lay back onto the floor and place your hands behind your head interlacing your fingers together. Place your calf muscles onto the fitness ball with your legs in a L-shape position and start the exercise once you have found your balance. Exhale as you crunch yourself forwards raising your lower back from the floor. Squeeze your abs muscles in holding the position for a count of 1 whilst maintaining balance and control over the fitness ball. Inhale as you lower your upper body down in a slow, controlled manner again keeping control over the fitness ball. Do not allow your back to come to a complete rest on the floor before starting the next rep as this will maintain pressure on the upper abs muscles and increase the overall benefits of the exercise.
