Stunner Sunday

Start your week with a killer core workout and shock those abs into shape!

Exercise: Stability Ball Crunch
Equipment: 55cm Stability Ball



LorCore Tip:
When it comes to ball crunches, less is more...
Short, intense abdominal contractions will do more than big swinging motions of the upper body.

1. Begin by sitting on top of ball. Roll down the ball until your back is at a 45 degree angle and pressed firmly against ball from mid-back to tailbone. 








2. Contract abdomen slowly by tipping pelvis upward, pressing back firmly into ball. Maintain this pelvic tilt throughout duration of exercise. 








3. Draw rib cage downward and forward toward hips. Hold contraction for 2 seconds before returning to start, maintaining moderate tension on the abdomen on the return.

4. Complete 16 full repetitions, then contract to hold at peak position and pulse for 16 repetitions, focusing on depression of abdomen with each pulse.
