Nearly everyone is familiar with those ubiquitous abdominal exercises, the sit up and the crunch. These workout classics have withstood the test of time and are still at the core of nearly every abdominal routine. However, sometimes plain sit ups and crunches just are not enough. They can be hard on the back and neck, difficult to accomplish for people recovering from sports injuries or simply not demanding enough for the athletic individual. When your abdominal routine needs a new kick, consider using an exercise ball and a cabled weight to really put a kick in your ab workout.
