Swiss ball abdominal exercise
Want a strong core? Performing Swiss ball abdominal exercises is one of the best ways to achieve it. Research has show that simple abs curls performed this way are 65% more effective than when done on the floor!
So what is it about Swiss ball abdominal exercises that makes them so effective? The key is the instability. Because you have to work just to sit still, when you perform any type of movement your body is challenged to use a whole bunch of different muscles that are rarely used when working out.
The extra effort means that you work that much harder when performing Swiss ball abdominal exercises, thus increasing the value of each and every rep.
The most popular choices using this equipment are:
- Crunches
- Oblique Crunches
- Upper Body Twists
- Bridge
- Plank
- Superman
- Leg Raises
The combination of straight and twisting movements, static and dynamic, will hit your muscles from every direction, which not only provides a better workout, it also keeps you fresh mentally.
To get the best ab workout it pays to mix and match, using a different combination each time you visit the gym - by constantly challenging the body you'll allow your muscles to keep growing and strengthening, maximising the benefits from each and every workout.
