With These 3 Ab Flattening Workouts
Marissa Guilers, a 29 year old dietician and mother of 2 boys plus a lively cockcapoo, wanted some easy ab flattening workouts.
What caught her eye were exercise ball routines. Or in essence doing ab crunches on a ball combining twisting, tightening, bending and compressing to give her abs a solid workout.

Also given her history of back strains, 2 kids you know, she like the idea that stability ball exercise routines protect your back. As the ball gives more support to it. So here's three core muscles targeting exercises. • Exercise Ball Crunches • Exercise Ball Bicycling • Midsection Lift Let's start with the … |
Stability Ball Crunches With ball crunches start by sitting on the ball. Walk both feet and sliding along the ball until the small of your back against it. Keeping your fingers behind your head, lift your rib cage slow towards your hips. You'll tighten and hold. The slowly lower and repeat. 10-15 reps is good.
Exercise Ball Bicycling From the same start position as with ball crunches, this time bring one knee towards your chest while lifting the opposite shoulder. Avoid using your arms to pull your torso forward in any way. Relax and then alternate, left then right. 15-30 reps should suffice.
Tip: You can easily super charge stability ball routines by
keeping your feet close together. You see, the closer your
feet the harder your obliques work to maintain your balance
on the ball.
Midsection Lift Start with your back on the floor and your calves resting on the ball. With you arms at your sides lift your mid section until your body is arrow straight - from your shoulders to your toes. Tighten your midsection. Hold it. And then relax - back on the floor. 5-10 reps are good.
Note: This midsection lift falls into the category of exercises for
tummy AND hips. So you get some bonus action with that one.
Remember with any ab exercise you always want to inhale when starting to tighten and then exhale as relaxing. This takes a bit of practice to get right.
Not sure this is intense enough for those looking for ab workouts for a six pack, and exercise alone won't flatten your tummy. For that you'll also need to eat more low-fat foods to help you ditch those extra pounds hanging around your midsection. But these are still better than average ab flattening workouts.
