Most gyms have an fitness ball which is used to stregthen your abs. It is an inflated equipment that is made of rubber or PVC vinyl. It’s also called a stability ball,and is helpful in performing stretches and isolation exercises. Before using the ball, make sure you’re physically healthy. Exercises which require a fitness ball are as intense as aerobics. Secondly, purchase a high-quality fitness ball to avoid unexpected bursting. The ball should also fit your height and weight. Choose the one that is perfectly right for you.
The fitness ball crunch works best for your six-pack. Interlock your fingers behind your head. With the ball resting under your lower back, lift your torso off the ball, pulling your upper back toward your hips. You should feel your abs contracting. Then curl up your kness slowly, but be sure the ball wouldn’t roll. Stretch your abs by lowering your back down. Basically, it’s a crunch-stretch-crunch routine to make your abs more toned. Do this for 12-16 repetitions.
