Using an exercise ball while doing sit-ups can be a nice variation that is more difficult than it looks.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • An exercise ball
  1. Step 1

    Sit on the exercise ball with your back straight and your feet on the floor.

  2. Step 2

    Roll your rear end down the ball and angle your back. Walk your feet forward until the ball is under your back.

  3. Step 3

    Place your hands behind your head and lift your head and shoulders to exercise your abdomen. Bring your head and shoulders back down to the starting position and repeat 20 times. Take a break and resume.

Tips & Warnings
  • Don't pull your head with your hands. They should be lightly touching the back of your head.
