Abdominal Crunch with Exercise Band & Exercise Ball

[Fitnessdotcom]

Lay stretched out on your back on a gym mat or on the floor with the ball under your calves. Loop the exercise band around a table or chair leg (or something else sturdy that won't move) and hold the ends of the band with arms almost straight over your head.Bring your elbows in to your sides, then lift your shoulders and head slightly off the mat. Hold for a few seconds, then lower. Make sure you don't hold your breath.Do 10 - 12 repetitions of the exercise. Rest briefly. Repeat for 1 or 2 more sets.

Ashley this is a good exercise that targets your upper and lower abs. Most people don't have exercise bands to workout with. You could replace the cords with either a dumbbell or a weight plate. Just simple put it above your chest then do the crunches. I do them all the time to keep my core muscles tight.

It's good to combine ab exercises with cardio to get the most benefit out of going core muscle exercises.
