"This exercise is called Lateral Crunches. And, I just want to warn you that when you are doing this exercise, if you have a particularly slick ball, or you have very slick clothing, you may want to bring with you your handy-dandy non-skid surface. This is actually kitchen self lining. And, what you do is you put it against the ball, so that the ball holds still and stays stuck to you. Bring the ball up against your side and go ahead and lean into the ball. The ball should be nice and blown up. You can, if you want, extend this leg. It is not important. Some people find it helps instability. Inhale. Lower your body over the ball. Exhale. Pull in the abs and come all the way over. Inhale. Lower. Exhale. Lift. Inhale. Lower. And, you can add onto this when you exhale and twist. Inhale. Lower. Exhale. Lift and twist."
