| Start Position | Finish Position | ||||
| What to do: | Grab either a dumbbell or a barbell weight. Lay flat on your back on an exercise ball and point your feet straight. Take the dumbbell (or weight) and extend your arms straight over you. Contracting the abdominal muscles lift the weight straight up towards the ceiling. Exhale on the way up and inhale on the way down. |
||||
| Don't Forget to: | Don't bounce on the ball. Go slow enough so that the muscles are tight throughout the entire set. Also don't bring the weight up at an angle (as in towards your lower body). Try to push the weight straight up, perfectly vertical. | ||||
| Equipment needed: | Exercise ball, dumbbell (or barbell weight) | ||||
| Muscles worked: | Upper abdominals & core muscles. | ||||
