Oblique Fitness Ball Side Crunch Technique Instructions

Oblique Fitness Ball Side Crunches
Technique - You will be using one side of your oblique muscles at a time starting with your weaker side first. Lay sideways onto the fitness ball on your oblique muscles. Extend your legs outwards in a diagonal position with both feet on the floor. Place your hands behind your head and interlace your fingers together. Start the exercise with your upper body in a upright position once you have found your balance. Inhale as you lower your upper body down sideways in a slow, controlled manner over the fitness ball until you feel your oblique muscles stretch. Exhale as you crunch your upper body back to a vertical position in a controlled manner whilst maintaining your balance. Repeat this technique using the other side of your oblique muscles.
