Exercise Description
Doing weighted crunches on a Swiss ball rather than the floor allows you to exhaust the abs across their whole range for increased muscle growth potential.
Exercise Instructions
-
Step 1
Lie on your back on a Swiss ball; knees bent at 90 degrees, feet flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart. The ball should be under the hips and lower back. Hold a dumbbell to your chest. This is your starting position. -
Step 2
Press your torso to your knees, lifting your chest up. Stop when the middle of your back loses contact with the ball. Pause, then return to the starting position.
Muscle Groups

Exercise Tips
- Avoid pulling the back of your head.
- Try not to sit too low on the ball. Your abdomen should be stretched in the lower position and fully tense in the upper position.
