Summer is right around the corner. Time to flatten that belly and look great on the beach! Have a stability ball?! If you do, great! If you don’t, no problem! You can purchase one at many retail stores or just visit your gym to use one! Sculpting your abs on a stability ball works deep into those core muscles and reduces strain on your back! Sound good, right?! Lets gets started. Go ahead and sit down on top of the ball. Roll down on the ball some resting your lower back on the ball. Keep you feet flat on the floor. Place your hands behind your head. Crunch! Tuck in that tummy. Squeeze those abs! Get rid of belly fat with the stability ball abdominal exercise!
Now try it! Hop on the stability ball with the correct position. Crunch up for 2 counts. Release back down for 2 counts. Do this 20 times. Complete at least 3 sets. Really give that tummy a squeeze on the way up and on the way down. Challenge yourself by crunching up for 3 counts and down for 3 counts. Tone that tummy now!
Add this to your abdominal workout. Firm up and slim down with a ball!
Feel your abs taking shape?! Tell me about it!!
Take care and get fit…Jen

I love using the stability ball in a lot of different ways both for abs, core & otherwise! Ever tried reverse planks on the stability ball? Make sure to be on a padded surface!
Always good stuff!
