Weighted Overhead Crunch (On Stability Ball)
The weighted overhead crunch on a stability ball targets the abdominal muscles while also engaging the obliques and lower back. The use of a stability ball increases the balance and core stabilization requirements, and holding a weight overhead adds resistance, making the movement more challenging.
Step-by-Step Form & Technique
- 1.Sit on a stability ball with your feet flat on the ground and your knees bent at a 90-degree angle.
- 2.Hold a weight plate or dumbbell with both hands and extend your arms overhead.
- 3.Engage your abs and slowly curl your torso forward, bringing your chest towards your knees.
- 4.Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your torso back to the starting position.
- 5.Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
