Do you know how important core strength is, but just don’t know how to go about building it? Here is one simple exercise to get you started. All you need is a Training Ball and a little floor space!
Training Ball Crunch:
a) Lie on the ball with it centered under your lower back, feel flat on the ground, shoulder-width apart.
b) Fold arms across your chest.
c) Curl your upper torso up and in until your shoulder blades – not your back – are off the ball.
d) Focus on the contraction in your abs for two seconds, then slowly return to your start position.
~ 8 reps is a good place for beginners to start – and build up from there! ~
Harbinger’s Training Ball can also be used to build core strength through leg curls, leg crunches, push ups, wall sits, and buttocks lifts.
Just go to www.harbingerfitness.com, select Gear Guides, and then select an accessory from the Choose a Guide drop-down menu to download your training guide (pdf). Each training guide has general guidelines on how to use each Harbinger accessory.
Ready? Set? Start!
