Swiss Ball Crunch With Arm Crossed
How to Do
How to Do Stability Ball Crunch With Arms Crossed
The stability ball crunch with arms crossed should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the stability ball crunch with arms crossed.
Beginning
Beginning Exercise Ball Crunch
1. Make sure you don't go too high. Raise your body off the floor just enough to lift your shoulder blades.
2. At the end of each rep, make sure to lower your torso to the floor.
Movement
Exercise Ball Crunch Movement
1. Cross your arms over your chest while lying flat on your back. Bend your knees and set your feet firmly on the ground. This is where you'll begin.
2. Lift your shoulders and upper back off the floor by bracing your core. Hold for a second at the top, then return to the beginning position.
Benefits
Exercise Ball Crunch Benefits
The Swiss-ball crunch should be a fixture in your workout because it may target the entire core. The rectus abdominis, or six-pack muscles, and the transverse abdominis are the primary muscles targeted by this exercise. When done correctly, however, it also engages muscles that help to support the hips and lower back.
