Posts Tagged ‘Flat Stomach Exercise’
As I was contemplating today’s blog, I remembered this great flat stomach exercise; leg extension crunches with a stability ball. As with all abdominal exercises you always want to maintain the lower back into the mat. With this is mind, you will to be mindful about how low to extend the legs for this flat stomach exercise.
- Lay supine.
- Extend your legs placing the stability ball on your shins.
- Place hands behind your head, elbows out to the side.
- Exhale as you bend your knees and bring your legs to table top while simultaneously lifting your upper body into a crunch and keeping the ball on your shins.
- Hold that position for 2 seconds.
- Release, lowering upper body and extending the legs.
- Repeat about 10-12 times.
An easier option could be to place your hands under your body to protect the lower back.
This is pretty much an all inclusive flat stomach exercise working the lower and upper portions of your abdominal area. Remember to pull the belly button to your spine when you EXHALE!
