Diagonal Crunch Workout on an Exercise Ball

Video Transcript

"Okay, in this segment we already learned position one. Position one was where we were laying down on our back and we were just doing a normal, simple crunch. This time we're going to make it a little more difficult. For those of you who are not quiet as advanced, you continue on with just the regular crunch with both legs on the ground. This time though, we're going to add a diagonal crunch so that we're working our obliques at the same time but balance is going to be key here. Because the ball is really going to be moving underneath you. You're not going to have your feet down on the ground to stabilize you. So, follow me, we're going to move on back down to where we were at here in our first position. Hands behind the head, expect this time, choosing whichever hand you'd like to start with first needs to go onto your abs. You're still going to have one foot on the ground, one foot is going to come up. This elbow is going to come to this knee and you're going to do a diagonal crunch. Now you're going to see my body rock back and forth quiet a bit but every small movement that you see, you're going to see all of the ab muscles working all the way down through my legs. So let's start it out here. We're going to pull in and back down. In, and back down. Now this is a pretty tough crunch and you can see as I start to wobble, my muscles kind of realign, tighten up and really focus on that core and keep yourself stable. And you can alternate to the other arm. Hand just alternates, this one come here. Remember this arms needs to be out. You're going to pull in and back out. And back out. Every time you feel that ball moving underneath you, you should feel your abs tightening even more so that you're getting a better workout every single time you change it up."
