Stability Ball Exercises Side Crunch - Abs Exercise

Personal Trainer Michael Behnken, MS, NASM-CPT-PES, CSCS

The stability ball side crunch is really not a side crunch.

You should be on the ball at around a 45 degree angle so you can crunch the side of your rectus abdominis muscle.

The obliques shouldn't perform as much work in this exercise as your abdominals.

Obliques are trained most efficiently with twisting motions in the transverse plane.

These are great crunches and you should really "feel the burn" if you do them properly.

REMEMBER: There is no such thing as spot reduction. These crunches will not help you burn off your love handles without the help of cardio, full body weight training and a sensible diet.
