Ab clock crunch

Lying on your back, stretch your body out full length [arms over head] Next move your arms in a clockwise motion bringing them down towards your feet in a wide circle, as you do so you should be crunching with the circle motion. Completing the circle motion bring your arms back up over your head remember to fully extend your torso as you do so.

Using the ball

I love to use a ball when doing abs. My faves are:

1. holding the ball bewteen your feet, arms and legs outstreched, bring your arms and legs up towards each other and transfer the ball to your hands, then flatten out again. Repeat, transferring the ball to your feet again. This should be done SLOWLY! If you swing the ball up, you're not actually working your abs.

2. With the ball between your feet and your legs extended up into the air, drop your legs from one side then the other, trying to keep your shoulders on the ground and not dropping your legs. The motion should be slow and controlled - this one is tough!

3. With the ball between your feet and legs straight up in the air, rotate the ball like you are moving a steering wheel. Careful to keep both feet on the ball and only rotate as far as is comfortable.

4. With the ball bewteen your feet, legs straight out parallel to the ground, and head off the ground, crunch the ball in towards your body squeezing your upper boidy towards your knees and then push it back straight out again. Keep the ball about 2-3 inches from the ground at all times. Also a toughie!

just the average sit-up lol

i like my good old sit-up, it works, and isn't to complicated, to make a noticable improvement in you flaby pouch, try doing 3 set of 15 sit-ups, and the 5 sets of 10 crunches, you will get an extream, and noticable difference in 3 months, and even 1 month is a big difference, it works well for me lol

fave ab exercise

I like the reverse crunch. I can really feel it if I start at a 45 degree angle.
