Video Transcript

"In this segment we're going to focus on our lower abdominal muscles here as well as the inner thigh once again. We're going to use this ball here more as a stability tool but not on the ground this time, we're going to use our legs to hold the ball together, keep it stable so that we're tightening all of our muscles from the inside of our leg while we do a leg raise. So everybody knows a leg raise, lay down on your back just a normal position, hands behind your back. Try not to pick up the ball quiet yet. Raise the ball up and bring it down to the ground. Now just keep that in mind that you're really working your lower abs here. So try and keep your lower back as close to the ground as possible so that we don't have any injuries. You need to keep that ball tight between your feet so that you can feel that workout in the inside of your leg. Now you're not going to want to bend or lock out your knees all the way, have a nice bend in between so that it's a comfortable position for your body to be in. Now if this is too easy for you, you can move your hands out from underneath and continue on. It's a lot more difficult. Keep on doing those ab workouts and you're going to get a great workout in the lower part of your body."
