I have tried this and it is the best abb work out. It helps do the muscles deeper in your body. It deals with the deep dwelling transverse abdominals TVAs. Other work outs are not as effective with dealing with those muscles.
Hey mate thanks for this video it taught me alot about the form i should have on a stability ball. I just have a question though when you say abs respond better to training without failure.
First of all in the video your performing more repititions then you reccomend (5-6) so does that mean i should be using weights?
Also, all my other muscles train respond best to training to failure and ripping muscle fibres? Slow - good form - light weights i found is what my bondy responds to best.
wow, whats up with the gay comments above. Im trying to do a workout here and trying to read for some great comments, please keep gay comments to yourself.
Thank you ridgelinefitness! I was sick and tired of doing crunches on the floor when I found this video. Doing these crunches on the ball makes them MUCH harder. I start feeling pain in my abs only after 4-6 reps as opposed to 20-25 on the floor, and I am constantly struggling to keep myself from falling off the ball. This is making my workouts more diverse and more fun.
I was too busy watching the guy do his excercises that I forgot to listen to the guy talk. I played it again and I forgot to listen to him talk again.
@foreveryourzz101 Lol, the same thing happened to me. I must have watched this video a zillion times trying to catch up on 'lost' details that I didn't pay attention to the previous times I watched the vid. This time I discovered the thing about positioning the tongue in the roof of the mouth behind the front teeth XD
I think it's funny as hell when people work out their abs and nothing else so they have a cut six pack with nothing else and they think their buff hahaha. There's at least one of those kinds of dumbasses at just about every gym on this planet.
@wfages metal! lol rubber its like the kids bouncy balls you used to use with massive rubber ears coming out and you used to sit on it and bounce its just a thick rubber ball
@Liquadia Thanks for your reply. I would think yes that metal would be seriously hard to control - (just imagine it smashing down the staircase, look out below!!!)...just that the one in the video doesn't seem to squish at all (maybe mine just needs air) anyway time to try the exercises already and see the results...errrrrrrr work work work.
@EzraBS the program is wrong try typing "8 Minute Abs" in the box and watch the real program that only takes 8 minutes everyday and depending on your body condition sooner or later you'll see real results, good luck
There's some many instructional exercise/workout videos on youtube that are just pure shit. This is great: informative, easy to understand and no bullshit.
Those ab crunches look just beautiful! I bet by being able to lean WAY back like that, you keep the balance in your back just where it should be, without any of that lower back pain I sometimes get from regular crunches...so precise, deliberate, maximum tension, just like you said, I'm seriously gonna try this.
I LOVE his videos because he breaks it down with explaining the form. Quality over quantity is what its all about. im so sick of seeing people with the wrong form pumping out soo many crunches. Its about form and being precise. love these videos! :)
don't be concerned much if the ball rolls with you. It is mostly due to lack of core strength. That is - those small, tremble like movements you do to correct your positioning on top of the ball. Just focus on the ab crunch and not on the ball trying to roll away. Within short time, as your core strength and balance increase, those corrective trembles will diminish and eventually disappear completely.
Also .. this ball seems like a much betetr quality ball .. that other one looked like they were basically just a big version of those cheap balls you'd see in cages in grocery stores years ago
AWSOME VIDEO......I'v been doing swiss ball crunches for a while but never felt them the way i did after doing them the way this video reccomended " slow,deliberate,focusing on quality over quanity. I could only do like 6-10 when i'm use to doing like 50-100!! I was shocked I felt it after only that many reps, But hey I'd rather work smart than hard any day so....GREAT POST
The exercise ball and swiss ball are the same thing. It was originally called the Swiss ball when it was developed back in 1963. Now because the ball is used with so many different tasks in life, the names can be switched exercise ball, balance ball, fitness ball, Pilate ball, gymnastic ball, and many other commonly used names based on who you're talking to about it. There are 2 types, the ribbed ball and the smooth ball. The ribbed ball is used for traction so you don't slide off as easily.
I do them slowly and deliberately like this, but.. i started off doing 20, now am up to doing 40, i must not be doing it right then?? i swear i'm doing the technique just like the video
The swiss ball is a very useful tool for sure...and if you are able to do more than 12-15 at a time, you're probably not focusing the move in your abs but in your hip flexors (iliopsoas and rectus femoris). At the top range of motion you should only be at about a 30 degree angle...any more than that is involving your hip flexors for sure.
this video says if you do 20 or more crunches it means that ur not doing it properly.. i can manage to do 50 and i think that im doin it the right way..is 50 too much to build ab muscles? im doin 3 sets of 50
hey yeah im doing almost as many as you, and i do them 5 days a week, this video is worrying me now, i'm going to see tomorrow at the gym if i can do them even slower than i am doing them now, except i am doing them pretty dam slow already.
Medicine balls are generally smaller and much heavier. They're used mainly for strength training for people with some sort of disability or injury. You can't really sit on them or do crunches because they're too hard and uncomfortable. That's how they differ from the Swiss (exercise) balls.
when i do crunches in general, i feel my lower back fatigue and i feel pain in my muscles sooner than i feel it in my abs. and when i tried the swiss ball crunches today i felt this much sooner than regular crunches. am i doing the motion wrong or something|? anyone with an answer please let me know.
Well it depends on which muscles you feel the pain in. Make sure that you are keeping your head straight. When you go up for a crunch, try to do the motion as if you are thrusting your chest up, and not toward the bent legs. Keep looking up or diagonally toward the ceiling.
Have you ever considered strengthening your back muscles using exercise like superman?
In this, you lie down on your stomach, extend arms in front of you, and in one motion, raise the chest and legs, while keeping arms extended. only the muscles on the back side of your body will be used in this motion. See for a vid on youtube.
@toupao414 You need to ensure you have good, constant stability within your core stomach muscles. Because the ball creates an unstable base, you need to work up to doing more mobile exercises. Maybe start by putting your shoulders on the ball and making a bridge, hold that for 10 seconds... maintaining breathing
Does that then mean Pysiotherapy excersises are focussed on more repetitions and less resistance, as to avoid aggravating injury? and to achieve more easily a full range of motion?
Very important people with overweight should begin with cardio (walking or even spinning ) Ball exercise dont make you loose fat , Diet and cardio FIRST
They can do 'exercises' so to speak, to burn calories. Its better to stick to full body routines, cardio, and diet to lose weight. However, being overweight and doing crunches doesn't contribute to their size. Just time and diet does (and the exercise itself).
U got the same body like me. The only way u will get rid of those love handles is a combo of cardio or sports, diet and lots of ab work outs. Thats the only time I have a 6 pack is when I do those 3 things at once... Some ppl dont need to do all that but if u gain mass easily on your upper body, or whole body like me then u will have to attack the fat from all sides!
Very WRONG. U will have a small body with no mass. If u want to have a good body and u are fat do not listen to maohuerta. This is what u do. U do diet, cardio and the ball excersize. What a lot of ppl dont understand is that u can use the fat to your advantage when starting to work out again because u have to lift or push a lot more weight than if u were skinny. Which means u can gain mass fast and get lean at the same time. Do the ball, cardio and go on a diet. And dont listen to maohuerta.
How short is the guy in this video? I'm 6'4 and can't seem to position myself on the ball in the same way, despite having the largest Swiss ball available.
what brand ball is this guy using. I just bought one from maxfitness and it is too soft and bouncy. I inflated it to the right size too by measuring it. This guys ball is firm and dosent seem to give much which looks better for working out with.
Yes, neck pain is a problem I've had for a while, but I've found concentrating/looking at a part of the ceiling or higher wall, prevents you from jerking your neck, which helps prevent the pain.
Yes. I am currently doing standing ab exercises and I am not sure if they are the best for abs, but I feel more comfortable with them so I will stick with them for now. I heard the ceiling trick but for some reason when I tried it my neck still hurt. I was getting terrible headaches and what not.
like the guy said "hold the tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your front teeth" this enables your facial muscles to staibalize your neck so it won;t be too rough on your neck
I actually bought the 4 DVD set from his website and have been doing these exercises. It is very good, the crunches are easier to do now because on the DVD he shows you how to do it properly, also he shows u other exercises for back muscles which helps with the crunches as well because once the back is strong u won't need to use the neck to lift yourself up. I highly recommend getting his DVD's, excellent investment.
wow, it's amazing how steady he is using the ball, when i try it, it's very hard to stay steady and do your workout. but i guess u need to do it more often to get better.
Hi, I just want to ask if what gym ball size is appropriate and better to use.A gym ball this size on ur video or the one that is bigger than this? And does the size of the ball will cause different result?I'm a begginer and a 154 lbs. I hope u reply and help me.Thanks
this guy looks like he weighs about 170 or something so unless your abnormally tall, the same size ball should be fine. the only difference for a bigger ball would be how far back you can bend
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
ehhh?? 10-20-30 ur doin em wrong?? hmm i think it means u shud be doing more?? i mean i do like 3 sets of 150-200 on ball then other exercises and i have a great six pack at 16 but ehhhh??
I got a 6pack from doing 200 crunches on the ball, 100 of which involved weights. I did this after I did 50 leg raises(bar or stand) and did the ab workout after my other exercises. After doing this for 2-3 I got amazing results. Awesome exercise as it doesn't hurt the back and suprisingly easy to do!
If you are doing them right then you will more than likely need a break before 10 reps.the better your form or the more correctly you perform them, will result in you tiring from lower reps.
That's right...THIS is the Swiss training ball for that extra fella who trains while in his rest. this helps with focus and other things for me and those of us who know the rewards of hard work, and the faith to see it through.
that's a banging body

The swiss ball is a very useful tool for sure...and if you are able to do more than 12-15 at a time, you're probably not focusing the move in your abs but in your hip flexors (iliopsoas and rectus femoris). At the top range of motion you should only be at about a 30 degree angle...any more than that is involving your hip flexors for sure.

Some ppl dont need to do all that but if u gain mass easily on your upper body, or whole body like me then u will have to attack the fat from all sides!

Very WRONG. U will have a small body with no mass. If u want to have a good body and u are fat do not listen to maohuerta. This is what u do. U do diet, cardio and the ball excersize. What a lot of ppl dont understand is that u can use the fat to your advantage when starting to work out again because u have to lift or push a lot more weight than if u were skinny. Which means u can gain mass fast and get lean at the same time. Do the ball, cardio and go on a diet. And dont listen to maohuerta.

How short is the guy in this video? I'm 6'4 and can't seem to position myself on the ball in the same way, despite having the largest Swiss ball available.

what brand ball is this guy using. I just bought one from maxfitness and it is too soft and bouncy. I inflated it to the right size too by measuring it. This guys ball is firm and dosent seem to give much which looks better for working out with.

He's using a Sissel Pro ball, they are used in a lot of gyms.
The balls are made of strong material and can take up to 2200lbs.

I agree. I still have neck pain even after following these instructions.
jlenoconel 2 years ago
Yes, neck pain is a problem I've had for a while, but I've found concentrating/looking at a part of the ceiling or higher wall, prevents you from jerking your neck, which helps prevent the pain.
I'm no expert, but it might be worth a shot.
Best of luck.

Yes. I am currently doing standing ab exercises and I am not sure if they are the best for abs, but I feel more comfortable with them so I will stick with them for now. I heard the ceiling trick but for some reason when I tried it my neck still hurt. I was getting terrible headaches and what not.

I get terrible neck and head pain from conventional crunches. Is the stability ball going to help with the pain in my neck and head.

When I try to do this my throat and neck hurts, how am I meant to do the exercise without using the throat and neck muscles?
aminul1984 2 years ago
like the guy said "hold the tongue on the roof of your mouth behind your front teeth" this enables your facial muscles to staibalize your neck so it won;t be too rough on your neck

I actually bought the 4 DVD set from his website and have been doing these exercises. It is very good, the crunches are easier to do now because on the DVD he shows you how to do it properly, also he shows u other exercises for back muscles which helps with the crunches as well because once the back is strong u won't need to use the neck to lift yourself up. I highly recommend getting his DVD's, excellent investment.

What if I ain't got the equipment for that?I don't have a ball can this exercise be subtituted by another one like normal crunches?

wow, it's amazing how steady he is using the ball, when i try it, it's very hard to stay steady and do your workout. but i guess u need to do it more often to get better.

Hi, I just want to ask if what gym ball size is appropriate and better to use.A gym ball this size on ur video or the one that is bigger than this? And does the size of the ball will cause different result?I'm a begginer and a 154 lbs. I hope u reply and help me.Thanks
pazawayako13 2 years ago
this guy looks like he weighs about 170 or something so unless your abnormally tall, the same size ball should be fine. the only difference for a bigger ball would be how far back you can bend

I got a 6pack from doing 200 crunches on the ball, 100 of which involved weights. I did this after I did 50 leg raises(bar or stand) and did the ab workout after my other exercises. After doing this for 2-3 I got amazing results. Awesome exercise as it doesn't hurt the back and suprisingly easy to do!

Did you do 200 crunches at a go.

he said, if you're doing 10,20, 30, or more you are probably doing it wrong? why is it wrong?
I do like 30, and it's hard around that so I stop there...but why is it not right?
Yoga1978 3 years ago
If you are doing them right then you will more than likely need a break before 10 reps.the better your form or the more correctly you perform them, will result in you tiring from lower reps.

That's right...THIS is the Swiss training ball for that extra fella who trains while in his rest. this helps with focus and other things for me and those of us who know the rewards of hard work, and the faith to see it through.
Good go!
